thanks for the tip, marilyn! 

RFRK Healthy Habit Heroes is our peer-to-peer advice column for partners to share their best tips for inspiring kids to love healthy food.

Today, Marilyn, Executive Director at Life-Bridge Child Care, shares her thoughts on commensality – the practice of eating together – and why it’s always a good idea to gather the kids around the lunch table.

“Sitting down to a meal together provides an opportunity to create a ‘family togetherness feeling’. Eating is everyone’s special time, and the time to break bread together opens so many common pathways to bond and to feel connected.”
