That’s a 45 , because researchers 46 that kids who have these regular family dinners have 47 behavior, grades, and a larger vocabulary. They are also less 48 to smoke, drink, do drugs, or have eating disorders. Time with their parents makes kids more 49 and gives them a sense of 50 and safety. Plus, they learn better manners.
