Shared Meals can Create a
Happy Family Dynamic
One thing we all have in common is we all eat. shared-meals should be the most important meal of the day. My second favorite meal of the day is dinner. There is a wide variety of foods, and we are usually more relaxed because it is the end of the day.
I know everyone has things they need to do but if you pick one day a week to have a family dinner you would be amazed at the things you will learn about your loved ones.
The idea with this meal is to have interesting conversations. Nothing major just enough to get everyone talking. Start with telling everyone something funny or exciting about your week. I like funny because everyone likes to laugh.
This would be a great time for a shared-meal

After you finish your story ask if anyone else had something funny or interesting happen to them. Now this is the important part. After you ask the question listen to who ever is talking. I mean really listen. Ask question to let them know you really care about what they are saying.
Befor you know it you will find youself looking forward to the shared meals. Remember the important part is the communicateing. After all communication is the key to all happy and long lasting relationships.
I must warn you ounce you get your kids talking to you, you may not be able to get them to stop. Just because I choose dinner as my family meal that dosn't mean you have to. Just pick a meal time that works for everyone and stick to it.
Spending time with your family causes you to grow closer together instead of further apart.
