Author: A few days ago I received a set of coupons from a local grocery store. It displayed an interesting lead phrase: “The Dining Table – The Original Chat Room”.
It then said, “Studies show that in Utah, parents’ involvement in their children’s lives drops by half between the 6th and 12th grades. Meals are a great opportunity to drop the distractions and reconnect.”
This is good advice from a grocery store.
It seems that in today’s fast paced and hectic world that families do not each their meals together as much as in days that are past. When I was young eating family meals together was the norm, especially for breakfast and dinner, and for lunch when we were not in school. They were good times and sharing times.
Many families still have meals together. In others the rule is grab something from the frig whenever you are hungry.
If your family is not doing your meals together, try returning to that olden practice. If you do you will see your family becoming closer and stronger.
