Dinner time!
My family, when my brother and I still lived at home, used to eat dinner together most nights. This is a scenario that’s becoming more common, according to state Superintendent Sandy Garrett’s last weekly column.
Monday is “Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children,” a movement by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse and supported by Gov. Brad Henry by way of a proclamation, she wrote.

Eating dinner together does make families closer. My family ate dinner at the dinner table together and actually had meaninful discusssion. My husband’s family didn’t really eat dinner together so my own family has gotten out of the habit. Also, my 2 year-old daughter eats in front of the TV in her little chair at my grandma’s house everyday:(. I am losing the culture of family dinner. I make a vow or maybe a conscious effort today to reinforce the good ol’ family dinner.
