When Christine Steendahl, founder of Dine Without Whine, uncovered startling research about the impact of dinnertime on a child’s development, she knew she had an obligation to publicize the information and let families know about solutions available to them. The problem families are facing? Less time together spent in conversation. That translates to less bonding and kids being less equipped to make good life decisions throughout their adolescent years.  

Steendahl produced a video that highlights her findings and offers a link to her website, where parents can learn how to bring their families back to the dinner table. The video, located at www.FamilyDinnerVideo.com, points out some of the statistics that Steendahl uncovered. For example, parents spend an average of only 38.5 minutes per week in conversation with their children.  

“Research shows that kids who eat dinner with their families benefit in many ways. They perform better academically from the ages of 11 to 18; they are less likely to be sexually active; and girls are less likely to suffer from eating disorders,” states Steendahl. “Eating meals together as a family is shown to be more important than play and story time in preschoolers, and is vital to strengthening family bonds. It’s an investment in your kids.” 

Steendahl launched the Dine Without Whine Weekly Menu Planner when she realized that many parents are challenged when it comes to planning family meals and to setting aside time for the family to eat together. The new video helps parents understand the Dine Without Whine service and realize its value. For a low monthly fee, subscribers to the service receive weekly dinner menus and an easy-to-use shopping list. This service, uniquely suited for today’s world, offers a no-hassle way for families to enjoy well-planned, delicious meals while minimizing mom’s time planning, shopping for and preparing dinner every night.
