I always make sure that we eat all meals together as a family, whether that's just me and the kids or all of us together.
There's a ton of research about how important it is for children to eat together with their parents and siblings regularly. I make it a rule that if Im not hungry I eat a piece of fruit or similar at least with them and we have no phones around.
Further proof that all of G's "bad" behaviour is simply a result of Shan's no F's given, me-me-me parenting approach. She is really messing up that child's life - it's makes me so sad
For anyone that may find this interesting:
"Research consistently highlights the importance of family meals, showing various positive impacts on children. These shared meal times foster better communication and they have been linked to improved dietary habits among children, including greater consumption of fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-rich foods, and less likelihood of developing unhealthy eating habits.
Moreover, children who regularly participate in family meals tend to have better academic performance and higher self-esteem. They also show lower rates of substance abuse and fewer signs of depression compared to their peers who seldom eat with their family. Additionally, family meals can provide a routine that offers stability and a sense of security, which is particularly beneficial for young children navigating social and academic pressures.
Therefore, the act of eating together can be much more than just sharing food; it's a crucial time for nurturing family bonds and supporting children's development both emotionally and socially."
that looks like an empty phone case, guessing she’s using her phone to film
