Book excerpt: Making the most of family mealtime goes well beyond the recommended food groups. According to public health expert Charlie Slaughter, the most important aspect of the meal is not its nutritional merit. When it comes to serving up the stuff that leads to a thriving life, the real sustenance comes from the more important things you feed—your love, your care, and your connection.

By revisiting dinner table dynamics, mealtimes can result in positive personal growth, and an altogether happier family. Shared time spent during meals presents manifold opportunities to influence development. This easy-to-read, invaluable guide covers essential factors, from shifting the focus on what and how much a child eats to capitalizing on the time to share experiences about the day. Almost every chapter is followed by a “Food for Thought” segment that facilitates parents in putting the lessons in practice. With heart, humor, and a healthy point-of-view, this indispensable guide to family mealtimes will help you become a more powerful parent and build more connection and joy in your home.
