Family dinners are a time to catch up with each other and spend captured time to listen to what is happening in the lives of those that mean the most to you. The holiday season is continuing to provide an extended time to have access to important people in your life, especially if they have traveled to visit, that you may not get a chance to see very often.
With all of the cell phones and snap chats and whatever else is going on with the cell phone users in your home, make a rule to leave the phones in another room during dinner, (for one hour) to avoid competing with technology while eating your meal. You may have limited opportunities to be with those that are around you this week. Make the most of your time.
The cell phone users will see that their lives will not end if they do not use their cell phones for one hour during dinner! That will be a great lesson that they may pass on to their families as well!
