 Whether you're cooking a gourmet meal, ordering food from
your favorite take-out place or eating on the go, rest assured that
what your kids really want during dinnertime is YOU! Family
meals are the perfect time to talk to your kids and to listen to
what's on their mind. The more often kids eat dinner with their
families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs. To
learn more, go to
www.casafamilyday.org.
Although Family Day is technically Monday, related information is
being provided throughout the week by several local restaurants:
-
Pizza Hut is
putting fliers on all of their pizza boxes. Also, the first 50
families that eat in at the restaurant will receive a magnetic
picture frame that includes information on how to talk to your
kids. This will run throughout the week of Sept. 28.
-
Domino's Pizza is
putting fliers on all of their pizza boxes. The first 50
customers will also receive a magnetic picture frame.
-
Guzzardo's is
putting fliers on all of their pizza boxes. Also, the first 50
families that eat in at the restaurant will receive the picture
frame.
-
First Wok will have "conversation
starter boxes" on their tables for the week. In the boxes of
Chinese food, there will be questions to start conversations
with the family, such as: "If you had to live somewhere else in
the world, where would you live and why?" If people are
interested, they can take the boxes home with them.
Along with these activities, postcards will be sent out to
parents of children ages 9-17 in Logan County to highlight the
educational campaign "Who is shaping your teen's future? I am, are
you?"
