Being a busy family, dinner time is our time to chat about our day and spend time together. We can sit around the table for an hour just talking about our day. I think this is important to children. Growing up, it's what my parents always did and it was time I enjoyed. I want my kids to grow up like I did.Posted by - kathy phillips on Aug. 20, 2009
I feel dinner as a family is important yet it had sometimes to get my teen to table and way from others activites.Posted by - Rubbie L. Major on Nov. 29, 2008
We also have breakfast together. It helps prepare for the school day.The evening meal is longer and we are able to talk about the day's events and how they were handled.
Overall we just enjoy our family.

It makes sense that the same kind of people who research study helps and things to assist their children would be the kind of people who eat together every/nearly every day.Posted by - Jennifer L on Nov. 15, 2008
It is important to me that we all sit down together. My children are still small, but it makes us work together to get dinner on the table and the table set, which teaches them life skills.
