From benefits you might expect, like helping your children avoid risky behaviors and get good grades, to even more surprising benefits, this one simple thing makes a huge difference to your children.
I can already see your raised eyebrow and hear you muttering, “There isn’t one magic thing that we can do to make our children happy.” But there is! And, surprisingly, it doesn’t involve sports, music lessons or going to church.
It’s eating dinner together as a family at least four nights a week.
Roll your eyes all you want but eating together as a family matters a lot.
It doesn’t matter what the food is, whether elaborate or simple. What matters is eating together with no electronics. Once the TV is turned on, all benefits of eating together go out the window. So eat and talk. That’s it. That’s the magic formula.
