I embrace hope and wait for that one day, a very gentle man who decided to take me. I went into a family of three, came to see the mistress a happy face and hug the host, I carefully wiped clean and in a vase on the table, carefully placed a flower in it. Enjoy a happy family of three in my first dinner, reminds me of a Carpenter father said, I think I'm going to play an important role in this happy family--until, home to a large flat-screen televisions.
TV is almost as big as me! At first I also disagree, only meal, need hostess draw attention away from the TV set that back to me, but slowly, the mistress never put a plate of delicious food in my body, but a straight end to the front of the TV on the coffee table. Somebody else will go straight to the couch, sitting next to the coffee table, enjoying the television, rather than a plate of food. Even ate for a long time are all on the couch, watching TV in the changing light.
This is not like Carpenter's father said, I like extra stuff, and big, space. The hostess passed me, always gently wrinkled brows, let me know what to do, buy things do often picked on me. Forgot which day it is, the hostess passed me, wrinkled brow Shu suddenly opened and eyes lit up and gave a knowing smile. Does she finally remembered me in the corner and family sat by my side did enjoy the good food? I suddenly felt nervous and excited!
Then she put the vase on the coffee table, not to some boxes, box under my desk, then a stream of kettles, microwaves on my body. Bian Dui said-so that the table can also be used up, well, fresh feel home!
For many families, the dining table furnishings – alternative to coffee table into a table, and the table became a substitute for rack. Why not to eat at the dinner table?
It really is: television lure away our family members? I do not think so. Really our family members away from the dinner table is the table itself, or is the table caused all of this.
Partly because we adults work pressure and increasing academic pressure on children, seems to be a mouth is talking at the dinner table had not studied whether to complete your homework earnestly. The topic itself is not a problem, but rather exposed behind the lack of a common language between parents and children. Parents feel able to talk with children, the children don't want to talk to parents, as well outside of work and learning, and talk is no good thing. And for one of the most important "life", but in the category of not talking.
Tables create pressure spots, and coffee table in front of the TV usually allows family members to lose sight of the Tomb.
Addition based on the busy working adult, stress and other problems, adults in the food choices are also increasingly frozen, fast food and the room is very popular now, so more and more food at the family dinner table is the deep processing of food-not only lose their color, shape, and taste for salt sugar and cover up. Our food requirements in the process of watching TV tend to fill the stomach, simply taste bud stimulating, easy to make and clean up. The result is that the food is no longer on the table do not have the "mother's touch", "family practice" and fresh looking forward to feeling. A stressed, there is no story, and look forward to interesting places, of course, to drive us out.
Finally, after leaving the dinner table eating common table itself, but also has a lot of unforeseen risks. Have scientific research shows that when we watch TV, when we eat will be significantly improved, this is because when we were watching TV more likely to ignore the feeling in the stomach, resulting in overeating. In many families, like overeating on a daily basis – is stimulated by high salt, high sugar high diet coincided with excessive consumption, increases the risk of too much risk for various diseases.
And when we used to roll on the sofa watching TV, brush when the phones come and relieve daily stress, in fact, mean that we are rejected and family interaction and communication. Such apathy among its members increased opposition of puberty and menopause, more so, the generation gap will be more obvious, not difficult children, but family members were weak.
So it's not that we are attracted to television, but is now the family's dining room table is forced to leave. So to avoid these situations, the most simple and effective method is to break the status quo and rebuild our family's dining room table. How to get back to the dinner table?
Reconstruction of a dining room table, the simplest and most effective method is to reset the table, not the table into a storage shelf. Family has family table into a culture and full of interesting corners, each served at the table, filled with mutual respect and warmth, sharing and joy. How do we get back to the dinner table? Give everyone a simple three-step, let our families back to the table. The first step of "together we sat around, is happy to enjoy a delicious"
First of all our family members, you should eat when they are sitting around the kitchen table, and a little thanks ritual of food (a bit like a Japanese drama of "start! "), The ritual can be designed according to the different circumstances of different families, preferably with a guide Word as you start eating slogans. This ritual, making children aware of must be dining with them and thanked the food and get their kids into "eating pattern", so you can put the television, mobile phone, to concentrate on family and chat while eating. If it is found that children like, meal can also design a small ceremony beginning, Yo! The second step of "together we sat around, is happy to enjoy a delicious"
Chat in our culture most often do things at the dinner table, but chat might lead to unpleasant topics. So while we were eating, adults must make a clear set of agreed, was not at the dinner table talking about anyone (including the smaller members of the family) are not pleasant things. Said another way, if you experience unpleasant topics, unpleasant people still need to restrain themselves, don't let the unpleasant atmosphere there at the dinner table. Thereby reducing the unpleasant experience from the dinner table caused by stress. The third step "together we sat around, is happy to enjoy a delicious"
Finally on the delicious, the most delicious thing is just the food itself. In a family with children or no children, I have more options in processing of natural ingredients and delicious dishes in different clothes.
Less processed natural ingredients with more natural colors, shapes, and complete a food to eat, give more balanced nutrients of the body. And for kids, less processed foods, give the child more sensory stimulation (such as taste, taste, taste of the food itself), and pure taste stimuli (salty, sweet, spicy, and so on), and allows children to develop a richer understanding of ingredients information.
Different dishes, paired with different foods, and ways to produce different artistic effects, thus stimulating children's enlightenment of beauty. Another unique container, tools (such as chopsticks, a spoon), children are more likely to establish an emotional connection, in our rituals based on the dinner table, further strengthen the children into "eating pattern", more focused and more pleasure into the eating process. This can also make it easier for kids concerned about the taste of the food itself.
Can of course search for more suitable for children children's tables, devoted to children when you invite friends to dine together, this can further strengthen children for their family and cultural pride, and share to others expectations.
Be used as a shelf wooden table at the beginning, hoping to be the hostess back out, becoming a member of the family. Hope you are reading this article, also from the family tired apathetic circles, breaking the monopoly of television, mobile phones and free. Last hope that our children not born in a highly cynical of the weight of the family in modern society. Hope everyone can sit together and enjoy delicious home. About Danna food laboratory
