Family Dinner is So Important Because...

Patrick Henrey lived, married, and learned his most valuable life lessons here in Hanover County. As the busy and proud father of 17 children, he believed the family was the foundation of a strong society. The family dinner time is one of the key ingredients of a strong and productive family. Case in point. WSJ article "Parental Role Aids Anorexia Recovery." You think? "Closely monitoring the meals of a child with the eating disorder trumps sessions with a therapist...(the parents) tag-teamed to sit with (their 13 yr. old daughter) through 3 meals and 3 snacks daily...( Soon) her daughter was gaining weight consistently.. and the (mother) started "seeing sparks" of her daughter's personality again." And then a qote from Tennis Magazine in a interview with John Isner, "We never got much in the way of material things, but if you can be spoiled by good cooking,my mom spoiled me 3 times a day all my life." Cook at home and sit down for dinner to create healthy moments and memories. Be sure to vote tomorrow and think of Patrick Henry and his wisdom!
