Eat Dinner Together Tonight!
We all know the importance of spending time together at the table over a meal, right? The Parent Up KC organization offers multiple resources to help you understand the whys and hows of making it happen for your family as often as possible. As the group explain on its website:
"It doesn’t have to be dinner — instead it can be breakfast or an afterschool snack break. It doesn’t have to be a three-course meal — the meal can come from a can, a box, or a bag. It doesn’t have to be at home — some nights your dinner table might look more like a parking spot at a fast food chain. It will require 20 minutes of time where everyone is unplugged, talking, and eating together. And research suggests that “regular” is at least 4 times a week. With some consistency and creativity, your efforts will have major payoffs."
