Breaking Breads, Building Bonds

The dinner table and the kitchen are places to show love, care and appreciation of your family. They are places for bonding, the family dinner should be organized so that each family member gets the most out of experience. Some suggest:
Plan at least one night of the week when the entire family gets together for dinner, no matter how busy they are. If you're eating out with children or extended family members let everyone have a say about where to go.
When cooking at home, get the entire family to pitch in. Dad can cut the veggies while the kids set the table.
Use dinner time to talk. Encourage everyone including young children, to join the conversation and listen.
