RE: Importance of Family Table Talks

in #family7 years ago

This is very important. As a teacher I see many children who are obviously neglected. Neglect in modern times is usually accompanied by giving children whatever they want. Parents usually soothe their own guilty feelings for not being involved, by buying gifts (phones, games, etc.) and justify their gifting as a means to fill the void.

It is important to remember that people (parents) do work long hours, or away from home. Family-life is threatened by modernization.

Also, if you really want to make good use of the time you have with loved ones, ask interesting questions. Instead of asking: "how was your day", rather ask something in the line of "so what was the best thing that happened to you today", or "what was the worst part of your day", etc.

Thanks for the article!

You are so much to the point my dear. Yes these days even on dinner table parents are with their gadgets and neglecting their children. The children are trying to get their attention but the parents are in their own joy world and then to compensate they buy expensive gifts. Its a very sad situation.

Those who haven't learned the importance of the word Time.
