Family-Focused Programs:

Let us reflect as nuclear families and working women?

Are there any programmes with emphasis on family based approaches in India or elsewhere?

Do the families in the present context sit together and have food on one dining table?

Why does it even matter to take this family based approach?

Programs that include the whole family, especially in meal planning and health education, can be effective in improving children’s health habits. When families work together on healthy routines, children are more likely to stick to these habits and feel supported (Bryant-Waugh et al., 2004).
