Eating meals together is the ultimate parenting cheat code, and that's because in just one hour you can improve your kids' academic performance, self-esteem, and cardiovascular health while simultaneously reducing their risks of substance misuse, depression, and obesity.

[10:00] We parents should be including our children in the cooking process, and here's why (plus: easy lift how-tos)
[20:00] Remember: It's not about the food! It's about the face-to-face, tech-free time
[23:00] Practical dinnertime prompts
