Perfect Time Number 6 is Table Talk

Meal times are a great time for conversations. This should obviously involve the whole family, but that is an even better time to cultivate the relationship between all family members, not just you and your daughter. Meal times are a great time for families to share what has gone on throughout their day. Making mealtimes a priority is important for families. Sharing a meal together is a great way to connect. Remember, grocery store runs are a teaching time and this connected with meal time itself can be the ultimate bonding experience for you and your daughter.

Have your daughter help with meal planning weekly. She might even choose to cook one night of each week. Or at least choose to have her favorite meal on that night. Why not make meal times extra special in this way. Your daughter is a gift from God, it is important to do all that you can to make her feel important, valued and special.
