Planning Family Dinner
Between work hours, homework, and other extracurricular activities the evenings can often be full and tiring and the goal of a family dinner can seem impossible. These tips should help:
- Schedule them. Review your schedule for the upcoming week and select the days that work best for you and your family. Plan accordingly and ensure that family time is prioritized.
- Plan the menu. Get input from your family. Include quick dinner ideas or make ahead meals. Our Weekly Meal Plans help too!
- Involve the family. When possible have the family members help prepare the food and have them pitch in the cleanup.
- Be present. Turn off the TV and leave phones on the counter.
