Why are scheduled mealtimes good for families?
Kids are not born knowing how to sit down for a meal. It is a skill that needs to be taught and the best and easiest way to do that is by simply sitting down with your kids and eating together. The family meal has fallen by the wayside and it’s time to pick it up, dust it off and bring it back. Yes, there are tons of studies that show how important family meals are – and how your kids will be smarter, fitter and maybe even become the President one day, if you sit down together. Besides, it’s just plain easier to make one meal and serve it instead of two or three different meals.
