Silent Suppers: Rethinking the 'No Talking at the Dinner Table' Rule

Growing up, my family strictly enforced a 'no talking at the dinner table' rule. At first, I found the silence awkward, longing to share stories from my day or laugh with my siblings. But over time, I noticed how these quiet meals helped us slow down and truly savor our food. Now, as a parent, I sometimes wonder if silence at dinner can create a peaceful space for reflection, or if it misses out on valuable family bonding. Do you have a similar rule at your table? How do you balance quiet moments with meaningful conversation? Share your thoughts below! #FamilyTraditions #ParentingReflections #MindfulMeals #DinnerTableTalk #Parenting
