Top Chef - Beyond the Meals

(WOC 1909) Top Chef – Beyond the Meals

 

Learning Objective- Learn strategies to plan prepare and manage stress to create, restore, or protect the tradition of meal planning.

 

Did you know that family meal times can impact achievement? Sitting down to break bread with your family or friends goes far beyond eating. In fact, community development researchers suggest that everything from literacy to academic achievement may be impacted by the simple family practice of sharing meals together on a regular basis. Mealtimes include cooking, preparing, eating, and cleaning up after a meal. This is a discipline that can restore much needed balance to the family and bring more structure to your schedule. Take time to go beyond the meal, learn ways to protect meal times by implementing strategies that work, even for the super busy.
