Hi, yes i agree and we also follow that rule in our house. Its a rule so there is no exception for anyone and its followed like a routine now. We all have our meals on the dining table as i strongly believe that a family that eats together , stays together.
Oh yes, we discuss so many thing during our meal times as well,right from what the kids did at school, what they did with their friends, their problems, their happy and sad moments, we talk about our day,and what all we did at our work place etc, alongside this, the kids earn manners to behave and eat properly while sitting at the table. No, we dont encourage watching tv while eating food as thats harmful i feel too. As the kids either just keep watching tv and dont eat properly or then they eat too much and too quick, thus making it not a good habit either, plus we cannot talk and discuss things which we love to do at meal times.
i think that we all should adapt this habit of eating on the dining table and its never too late to start, for those who dont do it :)

Yes i do agree and believe that eating food while the television is on, is not what is easy to do, as the kids want to see the tv and at times, even the spouse wouldnt mind it, but if its allowed once, it happens daily and then there is no togetherness and family time , guess its best that when we do eat, we concentrate just on food and eating it rightly,and alongside talk and discuss the days events and other thigs. Have a nice day.
