For a while we were doing great eating as a family but then a few things happened and we fell off the wagon for a bit and the little man ended up eating food that was just not great for him. When he eats with me he tends to eat a lot better than if I ask him what he wants to eat. Me making the choice for him means we are eating a bit healthier like a salad instead of ravioli. Still better than chicken nuggets or something lol or fast food.
Ah I remember the fun concept you did for a short period, what was on the plate where you take a photo of the mess left over. That was a fun one lol
People are often dictated to buy their lives, how busy or complicated they are, financial situations, commitments and all...but I think time should be made to nurture the family unit and connect with valued people and that can be (fairly) easily done at meal time. I thinknits sets a good tone, a nice steady platform to base everything else from.
