Family Dinner
Family meals are the perfect time to bond with your loved ones and have meaningful conversations with your spouse and kids. But what if the boring, typical questions such as “How was your day?” and “What did you learn in school today?” are met with one-word answers?
"Fine."
"OK."
Or the famous - "I don't remember."
(This is the common answer I get from my boys. Do you get a similar answer from your kids?)
