[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a toddler and infant. Toddler goes to bed at 7:30, infant at 7, and then DH and I sit down and have a nice dinner. Eating dinner with our toddler would be at 5 and not at all relaxing for us. Or enjoyable. I know it’s important to eat as a family but is it important now? [/quote] At those ages I did whatever worked, usually feeding the kids before us because it was so much work. Now my kids are 3 and 5, and we often sit down together at the same time. Family dinner is nicer when the kids can sit at the table in their own chair, stay seated throughout the meal, and feed themselves. It's also fun to introduce our kids to different foods. Tonight we had fondue and everybody used their own fondue fork, which is something we couldn't have all done 18 months ago.[/quote]
