Unfortunately, today only one-third of U.S. families eat dinner together on a consistent basis. Dinner routines today are more like frantic pit stops, where family members quickly grab a bite to eat before running off to their evening activities.
Family dinners offer a natural forum that fosters togetherness.
It provides an opportunity for family members to share their lives and receive encouragement and support. In today's fast paced life, a regular family mealtime provides comfort and stability in a world that may often feel unstable and confusing to a child. Don't feel guilty if family dinners are not a daily event. Start with what is possible. Family discussions need not begin and end while at the dinner table.
