Family Meals Fill Hearts and Minds as Well as Plates

(NewsUSA) - Family Meals Nurture Civility and Connection at the Table

Whether it’s laughing over spaghetti or tackling tough conversations, family meals offer more than just food. They foster connection. Now, new research released today by the FMI Foundation, substantiates that family meals also promote something our world desperately needs – increased civility. According to the report, family meals create opportunities to model civil discussions among those gathered around the table. The shared meal offers a safe space for families to share day-to-day struggles and successes while learning to disagree respectfully and support each other.
