New research suggests the many benefits children enjoy from regular family routinues, such as family dinners and storytimes.
Investigators at The Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Centre (CERC ) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York found children who regularly engage in family routines exhibit higher social-emotional health (SEH), meaning they are better able to understand emotions, enjoy positive relationships with adults and other children, demonstrate empathy and otherwise control themselves as needed. Such abilities help children perform well in school and bode well for a child’s “long-term outcomes”.
