Lots of parents including my own are very strict about eating dinner as a family.
Do you think that eating dinner as a family is important, well benefit your kids and why so? or is it not really a big deal in your household?
Re: eating together as a family?
it IS a big deal in our home. we always eat at least ONE meal together. i think it's agood thing because it teaches the kids the importance of family get together in todays fast paced life which enables us to have more close cohesion between family members. this gives them an opportunity to tell each other how their day had been and they can discuss any issues they might have. i think the benefits are innumerable.

Before we had our son we would often eat in front of the T.V. We now make it a habit to eat dinner together, even though my son is very young he sits on his swing and watches us or we talk to him. I think its really important
Re: eating together as a family?
it's a must in our home to have atleast dinner together. even when someone not eating due to any reason that someone sits with everyone else during dinner. We have taught this to guriya too. she mostly does not eat during dinner time but she sits with us on her high chair and she knows that she has to sit till the dinner is over.
