Our Beliefs
Healthy lifestyles start with the entire family. Gathering around the table and involving everyone in meal preparation, from children to parents to grandparents, makes a difference. Families can help foster healthy habits for children for a lifetime.
There is no such thing as a perfect mealtime. Mealtimes are perfectly imperfect and may involve messes, spills, take-out food, and last-minute changes. However, what matters is being there together, working on bonding and forming relationships around mealtimes.
Every family is unique and special. Every family has its own challenges and strengths. Learning to celebrate those strengths and what works best for each family will help make mealtimes special.
Creating healthy relationships with food starts around the table. There is no better time to teach children to enjoy healthy foods than while they are eating them. Using positive, responsive feeding practices (such as using appropriate rewards and avoiding pressure) can help foster healthy eating habits for children.
Positive communication is fundamental in nurturing constructive mealtime environments. Meals are a great time for catching up and building relationships with family and friends. Learning more about one another is a fun and rewarding process that goes hand-in-hand with making mealtimes memorable.
