My family doesn't need Family Table Time
Even if your family does sit down several times a week you can still benefit from Family Table Time. Family Table Time will take you beyond "just having dinner" to making a lasting connection again and again with real family communication. Before long, yours will be a family that communicates, survives and thrives even in today's world of technology and frequent distraction.
My kids are too old
Your kids will always be your kids no matter how old they are, and they will always seek your advice and approval. As your kids get older and you spend less time with them, you may start to lose the connection no matter how close you are now. School, boyfriends and girlfriends, jobs and many other new things will attract their attention, but this is a perfect time to set aside 30 minutes of their time to sit down and talk about your family values, what your older children are experiencing now, or even their future! Encourage your kids to write their thoughts down on the placemats so you'll have them as they grow up even more!
My kids are too young
Family Table Time is perfect for young children as this is the best time to start important habits like having dinner together. Very young children may use crayons and color on the mats – and they will have these memories for a lifetime (and you will have the placemats for a lifetime, too!). Family Table Time helps your children express their creativity and allows you to provide them with the attention they seek. Time spent together with Family Table Time when your children are young will pay huge dividends later in their lives.
Family Table Time will take too much time "I'm too busy now"
You should never be too busy for your family. These days parents work for many hours, and more than a few hold multiple jobs, but you need to devote the time necessary for your family to come first. Your family is like time, once you have lost it, you can never get it back. Take the time now to spend with your family over Family Table Time, and you'll reconnect and build bonds that will last forever, no matter what life might throw at you.
We've never had a family meeting "we don't know what to do"
Most people don't really know the best way to have a family meeting, but Family Table Time makes it easy for you with simple instructions, pre-written topics and Conversation Starter cards. Turn your own family meeting into a fun and productive time that creates memories and builds bonds that will last a lifetime.
My family wouldn't know what to talk about
Family Table Time includes everything you need to get the conversation going for your family, and it will even tell you what to ask, when to ask it and how to ask it! Family Table Time will even help you handle the toughest questions, by providing a safe environment that your family can depend on each week for a fulfilling discussion.
