The Lost Art of Eating and Connecting Deciding who will cook, set the table and do the dishes at the end – dividing up the tasks, so they are spread equitably through the family. Taking time to enjoy the cooking process – playing music, cooking as a couple or a family. No screens at the table – to facilitate connection and communication Taking time to ask each other about your day Going around the table and sharing something you enjoyed from the day, something you learned and something that was a problem. This can be a time to share important things to us or have a giggle as a family. When done regularly, eating and connecting as a family daily can be the glue that keeps the family connected.

One Tip That Will Change the Way You Argue Imagine we are in the middle of an argument, and I say, “You are so lazy, just like my father, no get up and go”. This is focused on the CHARACTER of the person. Now, if I shift this to “I noticed that you didn’t do any housework today”, that is BEHAVIOUR focused. When I address the behaviour, there is room to change; when I address the character, it is set in stone. When in conflict, focus on BEHAVIOUR.
