Parents usually take their families out to eat on the weekend. The kids are out of school, parents don’t feel like cooking, and everyone is looking for something to do. While this is understandable, restaurants can’t accommodate all their customers. To incentivize customers to come at other times of the week, restaurants offer fantastic discounts during the week!
Why Families Should Eat Meals Together
Parents instinctively know that eating meals together fosters good family relationships. As long as tablets and phones are put away, mealtimes are excellent opportunities to talk and grow together as a family. There is also less stress among family members when they share a meal.
Families who eat together tend to eat healthier foods like fruits and veggies. They even eat fewer snacks throughout the day and drink less soda! Sources show that children who eat family meals are less likely to become overweight or obese.
Additionally, kids who have regular family dinners have improved academic performance in school. Sharing a meal each day is definitely worth it!
But sometimes you just don’t want to cook. Eating out with kids doesn’t have to break your budget! In the Southeast Louisville area, there are restaurants every day of the week that give you a kid’s eat-free discount with the purchase of an adult meal!
