Family Day - A Day To Eat Dinner With Your Children
Family Day – A Day To Eat Dinner With Your Children
Research by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University consistently finds that children who often eat dinner with their families are less likely to smoke, drink or use drugs. Florida Family Day, a day to eat dinner with your children, will be celebrated on Monday, Sept. 24. Family Day emphasizes the importance of regular family activities and encourages Americans to make family dinners a regular feature of their lives.
CASA created Family Day in 2001 as a national effort to promote family dinners as an effective way to reduce substance abuse among children and teens. Family Day is celebrated annually on the fourth Monday in September.
