So those of us raising kids might think the sacred happiness of a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/recipes\/dinner\/the-gospel-of-good-food-and-family-meal-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dinner hour<\/a> sounds lovely but unattainable. Competing schedules, food preferences, and conversational skills often conspire against best-laid plans.<\/p>\n<p>Any of us can find our way to a relaxing family dinner, though. It calls for settling the family into some habits that <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/erin-napiers-christmas-memories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bring us together<\/a> in an easy, love-filled way.<\/p>\n<h3>1) Set the Table<\/h3>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re standing up at the counter for a quick bite before heading out to an evening activity, take a moment to set out a placemat, napkin, and a plate. That can bring you as much contentment as the food you\u2019re serving. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/how-to-set-a-beautiful-inviting-table-for-two-or-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Making physical space<\/a> for your evening meal\u2014even if the \u201cdinner hour\u201d is more like 10 minutes\u2014cues your whole family to tune in and chill out at suppertime.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Seed the Conversation<\/h3>\n<p>Need to spark lively conversation around the dinner table? There are many versions of \u201cconversation cards.\u201d You can pick them up or download them for a fresh supply of questions, reflections, or facts. It will elevate the conversation beyond \u201chow was your day?\u201d or \u201cdon\u2019t forget to\u2026.\u201d\u00a0 Everyone will come to the table knowing they can <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/how-to-take-a-positive-approach-to-daily-demands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leave the stresses<\/a> of the day behind and enjoy a fun, relaxed family dinner with those who love them most.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Empower Your Eaters<\/h3>\n<p>At my son\u2019s school, the cafeteria menu changes each lunchtime, but students always have two additional options if they aren\u2019t enticed by the offering. At dinnertime, you can make a similar plan. Always offer a simple sandwich, a bowl of cereal, or scrambled eggs as a no-fuss alternative for those who aren\u2019t thrilled with the menu. This will empower your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/toddler\/nutrition\/Pages\/Picky-Eaters.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">picky eaters<\/a> to make their own choices. And it will disrupt arguments about ingredients or portions, and preserve peace around food you\u2019ve prepared. Now that\u2019s a relaxing family dinner!<\/p>\n<h3>4) Don\u2019t Force It<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe someone has a major homework project due tomorrow. Or they had an exhausting day at work. They may just not be hungry. Let them be excused. They\u2019ll get something to eat eventually, and you\u2019ll be showing them that you see and hear that they\u2019re not in the right place for <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/her-family-helped-her-create-new-thanksgiving-memories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family time.<\/a> Remind them that you love them, and that you\u2019ll be right there at the table tomorrow, ready to nourish and relax together.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your recipe for a relaxing family dinner?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julia Child is quoted as saying, \u201cThe dinner hour is a sacred, happy time when everyone should be together and relaxed.\u201d So how about a relaxing family dinner?
