Wobbly Boots Roadhouse knows that the dinner table is an excellent place for families to come together and stay bonded with one another. It doesn't even have to be dinner. Any meal works equally as well, as long as you are spending time together. If this can happen every day, that's wonderful, but if you have a busy, active family, this can be difficult. Studies show that striving to have at least 3 meals together a week offers many of the positive benefits listed below.
Builds Family Relationships
Sitting down together gives everyone in your family the chance to catch up on each other's lives. This gives a person comfort and a feeling of belonging. Once having a family meal together becomes a regular routine, this time of day will offer a sense of security. The more you know about each other's lives, the closer you can be.
Improves Social Interactions
Children that are comfortable talking to the adults in the home on a regular basis find it easier to talk to other adults outside the family. These interactions with adults are also excellent vocabulary builders for children, and it's a nice time to pick up good manners. When it comes to dealing with other kids their own age, children that experience regular family meals have an easier time resisting peer pressure.
Encourages Kids To Eat Healthy
Younger children may have to rely on parents for the food they eat, but teenagers are often left on their own. Eating together as a family gives you a chance to encourage healthy eating choices, both by the food being served at the meal and by the example set from what you are eating.
Perfect Setting For Trying New Foods
When a family eats together, it gives them all a chance to learn about each other's favorite foods. Share things that you like for the kids to try, and introduce new foods often to try together. This is another place where kids will follow your example.
Improves Children's Grades
Studies have also been done that show kids are twice as likely to get A's and B's on their report cards if they experience family dinners at least 3 times a week. This most likely comes from the increased vocabulary, ease around others, and healthy habits they have picked up from the family meal time.
Reasons To Eat BBQ Together
We've given you some of the wonderful reasons we've found to get into the habit of eating regular family meals together. Now, we've got a few reasons why you should occasionally bring the gang to Wobbly Boots BBQ for one of those meals.
- You don't have to cook. We'll take care of it for you, giving you more time to hang out together.
- You don't have to clean up. Yep, we've got that taken care of for you too.
- You get variety. If each person orders a different type of menu item, everyone gets to sample them all instead of just one dish.
- You can catch the game together. Family meal time is a time to tune out everything else and focus on each other. If you all happen to be sports fans, though, you can have a hearty discussion cheering on your favorite teams together!
- You can order it to go. The hickory-smoked goodness of our Des Moines BBQ restaurant can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. Let us know what you'd like, and we'll pack it up for you. We won't be there to clean up, but hey, no dishes that night!
