(Make your own family themed bowl, plate, or cup.)

​

Dinner is the perfect opportunity to build quality family time. It is a time to catch up on the days’ activities; share successes as well connect and find out what’s going on with each other. Dinner is a time to relax, recharge, laugh, tell stories and catch up on the day’s ups and downs, while developing a sense of who we are as a family. Eating dinner together as a family provides the opportunity for conversation. By engaging children in conversation, we teach them how to listen and provide them with a chance to express their own opinions. This allows children to have an active voice within the family. Meals allow families to connect with each other, strengthen family ties and pass on family traditions.
