Dinnertime Chatter

by: Sue DeFiore

One of the themes I see on the various internet boards I
belong to is that children eat and run. First, whatever
happened to manners. We were not allowed to leave the table
without permission and unless it was an outright emergency
we had to stay until everyone was done eating. Also, we
used dinnertime to catch up on the day's activities.
When my dad wasn't there, my mom would ask my
sister, brother and I how our day was. Did everything go
well, any problems? WE COMMUNICATED.

When my dad was home, he told us about his week and how
things were in the city with our family and then we all got
a chance to catch him up as to what we were doing (school,
friends, after school activities). Even as we all got
older, we still had to be home for Sunday dinner. It was
mandatory. It was family time, my mom always tried to make
the meal extra special.

There was always give and take in my family. We all had a
voice and our parents always listened to us. They might not
have agreed with us, but they always listened to us.

So try to make dinnertime a special time where your children
can air their opinions and views, and really listen to
them. You might be surprised what you discover about your
children.
