Recent studies have shown that children like to sit down at the dinner table and eat a meal with parents and also they can eat a more healthy meal. But with the busy life these days, getting the family members all together in the same place at the same time can be a difficult thing. It seems that we have less and less time. But with a few simple ideas, the meal time can be an enjoyable family time.
Try to have a sitdown meal with your family at least one night every week. Saturday nights are usually a good choice for this because you have more time to relax.
Let your children plan and prepare together. This gives them a strong sense of self and learn how to plan and prepare a healthy meal. Make sure the television is off. And all phone calls go to voice mail(语音信箱)during the meal. Spend your time eating, and teach your children how to do the same in the process(过程). Eating slowly is a healthy habit.

On those days that you can't sit down as a family, try to make a habit of sitting down and talking with them while they are eating. This shows that you care about them and want to be an important part of their everyday life.
