If you don't count the meals we eat at work, then we always make it a point to sit together and eat as a family. I believe this is one of the most important things any parent must practise. I also believe that the dining table is where parents get to know their children, where the children get to know their parents, where everyone gets to talk about each other's day, where the entire family gets to have quality conversations. I think that most kids who grow up detached from their parents are those kids who are products of families who don't eat together.
