The family meal is inherent to maintaining and establishing family connections. Enjoying a family meal together allows family members the opportunity to converse and strengthen emotional bonds. Often times, parents and care givers are busy throughout the day; however, taking time in the evening to show interest in one another feels good and teaches children the importance of making family time together a tradition.
Some of my favorite memories are enjoying meals at my Grandparents house. Making meals, praying and cleaning up while visiting together are some of my most cherished moments with those I adore.
Right now, families need to spend more time together without technology interrupting those valuable conversations. Make meal times technology free time. Take time to talk and tell one another more about what is going on and what is exciting in your daily lives. Investing time in our families is something we all can do. Eat up!
