Take advantage of this opportunity. Take some time at reunion to listen to the day's report. Share the story of your day as well. Meals and other chores can wait a bit. Or prepare your meal together so you can talk and cook at the same time.
Conversation works best when distractions are limited.
The biggest distraction in most homes is the television set. When the TV is on, family conversation comes to a halt. The television may have a role at your house, but turn it off when the show is over to allow family talk. Meal times are especially good for family talk, as everyone sits together to enjoy the food and company. This is a great time to ask children the important events of the day, or to report the news of your day.
