It has occurred to me that as families have gotten busier it is only greater we all make room in the day to both cook and sit down together to eat dinner, or supper, whatever your family calls the evening meal. At the end of when most are worn out, hungry and have lots to say about their day, can be a great period to chat. Nice time of the day to relax with those we can best be relaxed with.

Now parents will see walls crumbling and sons and daughters fleetingly opening up about themselves and their schoolwork and livesspeaking candidly about important topics concerning their lives in all aspects. Without finding time for this interaction automatically parents can't manufacture it at some other quicker moment. This is just a lost opportunity! Flip side of the coin, these are the lighter times when kids can see their parents with their guard down as they prepare the meal and other stuff and share their experiences through conversations. Certainly there is no other time of day like this for sharing the days events. It is a holistic time that has to grow night after night right in your own home, right at your own dinner table.

If parents are trying to keep their children from getting into trouble than this is a good way!
