Dinner Time minus TV = Family Night 
Research says that children whose parents are actively involved in their lives are more likely to stay motivated in school, develop positive eating habits, and avoid drugs and alcohol. To help celebrate the importance of family time to the well being of our children, the Goddard School District Wellness Council is promoting a Family Night during the week of April 23-28 as a time to turn off the TV and eat dinner together or enjoy other activities as a family.

The USD 265 Wellness Committee endorses Family Night, and hopes families across the school district will adopt the idea and incorporate it into their mealtimes as often as possible. The week of April 23-28 is a great time to begin having a Family Night.

You may be thinking, My schedule won’t allow me to have dinner with my family on Family Night. Can I still participate in the event? The answer is, YES! Family Night is a symbolic event. It is meant as a reminder of the importance of parental involvement in a child’s life. The focus of Family Night is spending quality time together, so find a meal time or an activity that will work for your family.

Family Night emphasizes the importance of parent-child communication and encourages families to make family time a regular feature of their lives. Family time, such as family dinners or family walks, is a great opportunity to connect with family members and strengthen family bonds.

We encourage you to visit some of these websites for Family Night ideas: 

Tips for Getting the Family Together for Dinner:
Busy Schedules
  • Try ONCE or twice a week.
  • Plan ahead.
  • Try weekends or breakfast time.
  • Family meals can happen even if someone has to be absent.
No Time to Cook
  • It doesn’t have to be HOT or  fancy. It can be “Take Out.”
  • Team up to share cooking with the kids.
Make Mealtime Pleasant
  • Ask your children what they did during the day; try not to argue at the table.
  • Meals do not need to be always at home.  Break up your routine by going to your favorite family restaurant or have a picnic.
  • Make a no-TV rule during meals.
  • Shut off the cell-phones and no text messaging; let the answering machine take the call.
If you cannot have dinner together, pick another meal or activity that you can do as a family.

Questions to Spark Conversation at the Dinner Table:

  •  A desired goal of “Family Night” is for families to have an enjoyable time together eating dinner. This will help make family meals a priority for all family members.
  •  Many experts on family say that talking together has been found to be the most important family activity for both parents and kids, especially discussing topics beyond their daily activities.
Below is a list of questions to help your family get the discussion flowing. You might want to write each question on a piece of paper and put them in a bowl. Once the meal has been served, take turns pulling a piece of paper from the bowl and reading the question. Have each family member answer the same question or move on to a new question for each person. The questions can be on any topic. Here are a few:
  • Describe what it means to be a best friend?
  • What is your earliest childhood memory?
  • What special talent do you have?
  • What can you do that makes people laugh?
  • What do you dream of being some day?
  • What is one thing you wish you could change or make better?
