Parenting is a sensitive practice where children
learn many things from the parents and the other elders in the family.
Eating is not an exception. According to research among 200 families, children
are free from the eating disorders and obesity in families that dine together
at least for twenty minutes, four times a week.

By staying close to the parent, the child not
only picks up the right eating style, but also the perfect diet that keeps it
away from the eating disorders and weight related problems. Communication in
the family plays significant role in building good behavior and healthy
habits, apart from promoting parent-children bond and relationship. Researchers
are particularly concerned about the advertisements targeting children as they
are promoting nasty food habits among them.
