What is dinnertime like in your home? Is it convenient for family members to heat up their own meal in the microwave at different times and retreat to their own corners of the house?
For many families, eating dinner together has become a lost art—but it proves to be a simple, effective way to reduce the risk of youth substance abuse and to raise healthier children. Before family dinners go the way of the dinosaur, let’s make the effort to preserve family mealtime.
The facts are on the table: eating dinner together every night keeps the doors of communication open. It’s the perfect time and place to reconnect and to show your kids that they are your priority. Sitting across the table is where and when you can find out more about your children’s likes, dislikes, and daily life. Having this information can help you direct your children toward positive activities and behavior, reducing the likelihood that they will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and/or illegal drugs.
Questions:
1.What is the situation like in your home? Do you usually have dinner with your family? If so, do you like to talk or share something while you have dinner with them? What do you usually discuss?
2.Do you agree with author's opinion that to have dinner together is very important to strengthen the connection between family members and help youngers to grow healthier and happier?
3.Some people think is a bad habit to have meal in front of TV. In stead of this, family members should sit around the table and eat together. How about in your family? What's your opinion?
4.Have you ever thought to have your own family? What would you like your family to be?
5.Do you prefer to share your daily life with your friends than your parents? If one day, you realize that your children are hiding something from you and they are not willing to discuss with you only with their friends. What should you do?
