The Hour That Matters Most

We always try to eat dinner together as a family every night. This is something that my husband and I are committed to. It’s not always easy.  If we’re having a busy day, sometimes that means eating earlier or later than normal. When our kids were involved in sports, that often meant eating food that I had prepared in the van together. Occasionally we would eat out together. The kids really liked that. lol

 

Whatever the schedule or the food,  we always have tried to eat together. Family dinners get more important as the kids get older. When their schedules get busier, that’s when kids need to spend time together as a family the most.

If family dinners are something you would like to do on a more regular basis, The Hour That Matters Most – The Surprising Power of the Family Meal is the book for you.

 

 

With ideas for….

• fitting a dinner hour into your busy schedule
• freezer cooking ideas
• great recipes
• conversation starters
• how to encourage your kids to talk to you

and much more, this book is full of great help in establishing a family dinner time.

 

Here’s a video by the authors talking about their new book:

 

You can visit their website, The Hour That Matters Most. They have a 90 Day Dinner Challenge that looks like a great way to start your family eating together. There is even a Family Dinner Time Toolkit to get you started. A printable placemat will help your kids learn correct table settings. The book has a chapter with conversation starters, and the website has printable coasters with conversation starters on them. An easy way to get your kids talking and keep the conversation flowing.

 

If you would like to start having a family dinner hour, or have one on a more regular basis, I highly recommend The Hour That Matters Most.
