The bond that eating together creates in a family is unquestionable, it's a routine that is underrated in most homes, they tend to be ignorant about the bond it creates among siblings, the way it promotes unity and also improve how family communication .
Eating together is something we do at home most Sundays, especially during dinner .As kid's I find it very interesting, because of how we communicate with each other, laugh, most times we querrel and make peace at the table.
When I first left my family to the university, I came back home looking so slim and sick, when I came home after my first semester for holiday, my mom was just kept asking me if I was starving.
It was then I realized that most times, coming home to
meet your family creates an healthy appetite and encourages good eating habits.
Living alone and planning my meals on my own back in school made me appreciate eating with my family, because I realized how I suck at planning meals for myself, although I grew past it, after my first year, especially having some symptoms of ulcer, I had to sit up and start making meals for myself.
Eating together as a family goes a long way in creating strong connection and bond between parents and siblings, it's a way of reconnecting with each others, through sharing and eating.
It creates time for bonding after a hectic day at our various place of work.
I would inculcate this habit among my kids , when I become a mom because, I would love to have kids that bond and have strong connection with each other .
Through connecting at mealtime, you tend to share stories, experiences and communicate properly.
Have you ever found yourself in a table of huge quantity of food with your siblings and when you all are done consuming it, you start asking yourself questions, you all start wondering how you were able to finish the large portion of meal.
Eating together, promotes healthy eating habit, I tend to eat much when I'm on a table with family or love ones.
It promotes healthy eating habits , especially among toddler's because they watch and learn .
Eating together also help children learn the value of family and accept that being with family is the safest place to be because of the bond created.
I and my siblings keep growing, life keeps taking us to different part, gone are those days we stay under same roof, wake beside each other or even start the day together and that is because we find ourselves together and complete, probably twice or once a year
The last time I had a family mealtime was Christmas, holiday and that was after a long time.
We only have the chance of having a complete family dinner during Christmas holidays.
I highly support and encourage family dinner amongst families, because of the bond and connection it creates among siblings and parents.
Eating together creates beautiful and unforgettable memories.
