If you’re like many parents, getting your family members to the table for regular family meals isn’t always easy. But this week’s Mom Enough guest has spent much of her career studying why family meals are so important, why they happen so seldom, and how parents can overcome barriers and make the most out of family mealtime.
Dr. Anne Fishel is director of the Family and Couples Therapy Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, associate clinical professor of psychology at the Harvard Medical School and author of Home for Dinner: Mixing Food, Fun, and Conversation for a Happier Family and Healthier Kids. Her innovative ideas and inspiring tips had Marti & Erin so excited they say they will listen to this interview once a month to remind themselves of the many fun and powerful ways to transform mealtime rituals in their households!
