The family that eats together, stays together – many people would say that having a meal together with your other family members is one of the most intimate things you can do as a family. However, with everything that’s going on with each family member, it can be quite difficult to round up the family to enjoy a good meal. Here are 3 more reasons why you should try your best to sit down together with your family, whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

This is the perfect time to ask your parents how their day was at work, or discuss the plans you have for the next day. Family meals can be quite an affectionate and unifying experience for all family members. It has also been proven that children who eat together with their families, and have open communication with them, are less likely to rebel at home and are more likely to receive good grades in school.
