Families who eat together stay together
Its is Spring Bank Holiday in the UK so it seemed right to talk about families and how we can improve the time we spend together. My observation is there are many benefits from families who eat together.
In our busy 21st century lives, there is a trend towards families eating their meals from trays watching TV rather than sitting to a table and facing each other. Likewise teenagers, if allowed, will take their food and eat in their bedrooms.
Eating a meal at a table together as a family strengthens the family bond. Over the meal conversation will flow backwards and forwards between parents, between parents and children. By sharing their day’s news, family members are more involved with each others lives. This gives opportunities to support one another and for parents to guide a child.
My friend Irene Gloux and I are going the Big Purple Psychic & Holistic Fair next Saturday 24th February.
Why do challenges arrive, what are the drivers behind them and what can you do to overcome them? She brings personal examples and others to help bring this challenging topic to life.
There is lots of dialogue about being mindful at work but what does this really mean?
