If there’s one thing I could go back and change it would be meal times. We used to eat as a family every dinner time but as time passed on we did it less and less and now we only eat together on special occasions. With Bastian at his dorm and Kianna at her dance practices it just leaves Jael and I.
I have to admit we have meal times together sometimes but even then we’re watching someone thing on the iPad as we eat. I loved the Mealtime Confessions game that Ginger and cutie Zeeka played together over meal time. I think Jael and I will do that, too!
Why does it matter you ask? Mealtimes are the perfect opportunity to catch up on each other’s day. It also creates a ritual of sorts that hopefully follows on even in adulthood. Here are more benefits of having meals together as a family:
- Foster connections with each other
- Teach the value of quality time
- Encourage conversation
- Influence of different tastes
- Form proper eating habits
- Lessens gadget use
So to young families, I would highly recommend making meal time together a must! If it’s not possible everyday do it as much as you can.
