I just read your blog, "Why It's Important to Eat with Your Kids". Our kids are now almost 15 and 12. We have always had dinner at the table with no TV. I was writing about the last two paragraphs of your blog. Since the kids were born, I've tucked them in to bed and said prayers with them each night. My husband's schedule is crazy and he's not always home. Since my daughter is finishing her freshman year and my son his 6th grade year, I asked them if they were "too old" to be tucked in. They both insisted that they "certainly were not too old." They said it was the way they ended their day. That's our last couple minutes of catching up with stuff they forgot about before ending the day. Sometimes, it's signing a last minute field trip or remembering a funny story. Sometimes, it's an apology about bad behavior. It's like the "P.S." of the day.
Thank you for what you do!
Tammy
