Getting the Most Out of Your Family Meals - a podcast by MGH Center for Faculty Development

Studies have tied shared meals to increased resiliency and self-esteem in children, higher academic achievement, a healthier relationship to food, and even reduced risk of substance abuse and eating disorders. Shared mealtime provides connection, enjoyment, and stability especially during the current pandemic.

 

In this podcast, Dr. Fishel talks about how and why to make family dinners: Playful, Easy, Talkative, and Meaningful.

 

Speaker: Anne K. Fishel, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry; Author of “Home for Dinner: Mixing Food, Fun and Conversation for a Happier Family and Healthier Kids”; and a founding member of The Family Dinner Project.
