The Family That Eats Together Stays Together
http://spicyflavours.proboards31.com/index.cgi?board=life&action=display&thread=1162712251
How far is this convincing????

Remember those days when dinner time meant conversations , cracking up over jokes , dishing out words of wisdom....

Today dad eat in his room while watching cricket
Mom eat while talking on cell , sis eat while listening the music on her ipod and remaining of us eat while chatting to our online friends on internet

While paying attention to individual intrests is fine , its also important to remember that sharing a meal is not just about eating , but also about strengthening family bonds and making pleasant memories . NO wonder One of the magzine reports that the more often families eat together , the less likely that kids are going to smoke , drink , do drugs or get depressed

Every one want to watch TV while eating , nobody want to eat at dining table .
Conversation with our family members is minimum , and even when does it take place , it is stressed .....

Does it really good signs??? Think of it frds !!!!!!

Sociolgists stress that the power of eating together is akind ov vaccine that protect kids .....

Benefits of Family Meals

There is much more to mealtime than just food.

Families usually save money
Children's school performance improves
Children develop a stronger sense of belonging
Children often have less behavioural problems
Family communication can improve
Mealtime encourages conversation and interaction around the dinner table, which improves a child's vocabulary and communication skills. This leads to better performance in school and fewer behavioural problems.

Mealtimes give parents a chance to lead by example and demonstrate healthy food choices.

Mealtime also helps to instill a sense of belonging in children, and provides a way to transmit family values and traditions.

As a result, children who eat with their family at least once a day are less likely to smoke, drink, use drugs, or attempt suicide.

Lessons taught now will follow a child throughout their life, impacting their food choices and overall health as an adult

We have sold ourselves on the idea that that teenegers r obviously sick of the families and they r bonded to their peer group . But we have taken it to extreme ...

Its easy to blame the fast food culture and microwave , but parenting rules too seem to be changed over the years .

Parents are allowing kids to be. They let them eat as individuals in rooms or with their frd's.

Now there's no routine , no rule everyone eat what they want . teenagers take plate in their rooms so they can keep SMSing their friends .. As a result eating with our family is dying tradition ..

its time to switch off your TV , go to ur dining table and enjoy a heartly meal with your family

Tips for Great Family Mealtimes
Turn off the TV
Take phone calls later
Plan simple meals to prepare
Schedule mealtime & make it a family routine
Eat a variety of food to keep meal interesting
Involve kids in grocery shopping, meal preparation and clean up when you can
Talk together and laugh together
Make sure everyone has a chance to speak and be heard .

Lets plan 30 min for our family in a 24 hr day schedule
If not possible , Start with once a week on sunday and then moove to one time a day ...........
Its really needed
