NO ONE LEFT OUT!

Often mothers, especially with larger families, ask me how they can show individual attention to each one of their children.

A wonderful place to do this is at the family meal table. When our children were growing up we would frequently ask questions at the table. Some of the favorites were, “What was the most exciting thing you did today?” Or, “What was the most interesting thing you learned today?” Each child, from youngest to oldest had to answer.

The great thing about it is that when each child has their turn to share, every eye is upon them, and all ears are attentive to what they are saying. Although they are sitting in the corporate setting, they have the opportunity for personal attention from every member of the family, including mom and dad. They are the center of attention.

As you do this at your family meal table, no child will be left out!
