In our busy 21st century lives, there is a trend towards families eating their meals from trays watching TV rather than sitting to a table and facing each other. Likewise teenagers, if allowed, will take their food and eat in their bedrooms. Eating a meal at a table together as a family strengthens the family bond. Over the meal conversation will flow backwards and forwards between parents, between parents and children. By sharing their day’s news, family members are more involved with each others lives. This gives opportunities to support one another and for parents to guide a child. Listening to the conversation between parents is another opportunity for children to learn how to behave with another person and to love and support that person. The simple act of eating a meal together provides many opportunities to learn for all involved.
Dedicated to my mother and the wonderful two little boys in our family who represent the next generation arriving.
