Do you want a happier, healthier family? Here's a simple way: Eat with your family more often.      Increasingly, researchers are discovering the importance of family mealtime. Several recent studies have pointed to the same result: Children who often eat dinner with their parents are happier and have fewer behavior problems.      Dr Blake Bowden, an American researcher, carried out one study. He found that young people who have family dinners at least five times a week may not use drugs. They are often happier and do better in school.      Clearly, family dinners are important for a child's development. Why? Because dinnertime offers busy families a good chance to sit down together and talk. The relaxing conversation at the dinner table helps keep good family relationships (关系). And good family relationships help children develop self-respect and a sense of belonging.      Family relationships can also influence a person's health. One study shows that children who enjoy close relationships with their mothers will not develop serious health problems.      Sadly, however, meaningful family time is too often forgotten. Parents are busy working and children are busy studying for tests. According to Dr Blake's study, nearly 25 percent of people say that they have little time for family.      According to another study, people spend only about 50 minutes of free time with family each day. And those 50 minutes are not well spent on meaningful conversations, either. Many parents say they know little about their children's friends.      So how can families find more time for each other? How can they enjoy more family meals and conversations? They need to make.choices. For children,they'd better not spend so much on their tests, but they may risk (冒险) falling behind their classmates. For parents, they need to go back home earlier and risk not getting a high position. But for families who do make those tough choices, the rewards are rich. Making time to eat dinner with family does more than feed the body-it nourishes (滋养) the heart.
