More families are resorting to allowing phones at the dinner table
Recipe box service HelloFresh has partnered with TV presenter and family psychotherapist, Anna Williamson, to launch the ‘What’s On Your Plate’ campaign, a toolkit designed to encourage children to open up at meal times. According to a recent report, screen time during meals is increasing and a third of families incorporate devices at the dinner table daily, leaving parents longing for more quality sit-down meals with the family.
The children’s counsellor and life coach has shared her top tips and conversation starters designed to help find out more about your child. The aim is to help parents further connect with their children and to give them the tools and space they need to talk about what’s going on in their life. From family matters, school and friendships to reflecting on their goals, feelings and gratitude, Anna has crafted the conversation starters around key topics that kids traditionally keep close to their chest.
Anna said: “As a children's counsellor and life coach, talking and crucially listening to our children is fundamental in maintaining a happy and healthy family, and raising children who feel loved, supported and secure. "Environment is key when opening up topics of conversation and getting to know your children and what's going on in their world, and the perfect place for chats is around the dinner table.
Have a conversation with your children with your meal, you might be surprised to learn more and more about them as they trust and enjoy the process of family tea-time reimagined. And as a caregiver, you'll undoubtedly feel more connected and confident that you know your child better.'
