Family meals play an important role in helping children develop healthy habits around food. In addition, they provide opportunities for children to learn about healthy, nutritious foods, build a menu, help in the kitchen and form stronger bonds with their family. K-State Research and Extension family and youth development agent in the Chisholm Trail District, Tristen Cope, says you can make family meals a habit – just start slow and keep it simple.
