Eating supper together as a family is the best way to prevent descructive behaviours

From Breakpoint with Chuck Colson on November 22, 2005:

Weinstein tells us that when the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse studied ways to keep kids from destructive behaviors, family dinners were "more important than church attendance, more important even than grades at school." The Center has repeated that study several times since then, "and every year, eating supper together regularly as a family tops the list of variables that are within our control."
