Family Dinners
In many classes at Kent, we have talked about elderly people
eating alone, due to various reasons.
The elderly are not the only people at risk for eating alone, many
parents and children are not eating dinners together due to schedules or other
reasons. Eating is a social experience, and makes it more enjoyable. An organization called Family Dinner Project provides
information with a four week plan to start having of family dinners, there is
information to become a volunteer or to start a parent dinner group or
community dinner group too. There are
also links to conversation starter tips, easy recipes, and fun activities
involving family dinner based on age of children.
When
counseling, it is important to ask the client who they normally share meals
with. The answer may open up some avenues to improve the current family meal,
or to encourage a family meal. To learn more go to http://thefamilydinnerproject.org
