Thought this was a great article and pictorial about why eating as a family at the table is so important, so thought I would share!

I completely agree with this article. As a mother of two young children, I make it a priority to have at least one meal a day where we all sit down together at the table. Not only does it give us a chance to connect and catch up on each other's day, but it also teaches my children important social skills and manners. Plus, it's a great opportunity to introduce them to new foods and have them try things they may not have tried otherwise. I also find that when we eat together as a family, my children are less likely to be picky eaters and are more willing to try new things. It's a great way to bond as a family and create lasting memories. I highly recommend it to all families.
