Hi Desirae,

I totally agree with you. When I was growing up, we always ate meals at the dinner table and so when I got married and we had two sons, from the time they could sit on catalogs at the table, we ate together. Now, I am happy to say, both my sons and DIL'S and grandchildren have gone on with the tradition.

There is nothing but good that comes out of having meals together. We learned so many things about what was going on in our sons lives, as well as they learned about their relatives as we spoke about anything and everything.

I have heard of a study showing that parents that eat meals at the dinner table with their children have found that the children actually read better. Whether that is really true or not, I can't say, as I wouldn't know where to even look for that now. But, it sure can't hurt!!

Good for you and I am proud that you are taking this step with your children. We need to do all we can as parents to make sure our children are happy and healthy in every way.

Way to go,
Linda
