[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does not matter even a little bit. [b]My kids cannot remember a single thing that happened to them before age 3.[/b] If eating later with dh makes you calmer, happier, or improves your relationship with dh, that is going to have a much greater effect on their well being than dinner together. I have older kids and we eat together every night—but there would hardly ever be a chance to talk with teens if not at dinner. It’s not like life with little kids where you are with them every minute anyway.[/quote] Memory is tied to language development. Asking your young kids about their experiences has been proven to help them develop early, lasting memories. Family dinners could be an excellent venue for those types of conversations.[/quote]
