mindbodygreen interviewed seedlings Co-Founder Aliza Pressman about preparing your family for the back to school groove, and why prioritizing family dinner is a routine to prioritize.
“Just like you plan your work schedule, your workout plan, and the like—put family meals on the schedule. "The data suggest that four or more meals a week is beneficial for the kids," says Aliza Pressman, Ph.D., the cofounding director and director of clinical programming for the Mount Sinai Parenting Center. "It's correlational, so we don't know why, but likely if a family is committing to sit down together, it's a kind of family that is committing to a positive relationship."
