Family Dining Tips

  1. Make sure dinnertime belongs only to you. Let the answering machine respond to phone calls, turn off the television, and put away the newspaper.
  2. If your children are grown or older, turn dinnertime into a forum for discussion of current issues and happenings in the area and around the world.
  3. As a family, volunteer at a local soup kitchen or food bank. This will help family members to appreciate dinner at home even more.
  4. Hold a “crazy hat dinner.” Invite each family member to wear their favorite or funniest hat to the table.
  5. Discuss books during mealtime. Ask family members to share their current and longtime favorites.
