Article 3 : family benefits were lots of meals
Text / Madian
Adhere to the family of meals Blessed !
Forgotten family dinner table
According to the latest survey shows that three-quarters of family members, morning and evening meals with their families the opportunity to eat only 50 %, there is no alternative , of course , but more is based on lifestyle choices . They think that sitting at home in the dining room table , simply can not work overtime or on the gym and the importance of comparison .
Many reasons , of course , the work style of change is one of them. Today's traffic conditions , one must spend more time on the road , and employers want employees to work longer hours .
Increase in working women is also one of the reasons . Wives spent time and effort in the kitchen greatly reduced their household goods in machines by the weekend has already been very easy.
Also, walking the streets every three , Five Steps have fast-food chain or convenience store , advertised fast and cheap , plus a variety of advertisers gimmicks , they want to offer is modern , but not necessarily healthy Fast food , the modern concept of nutrition has been getting weaker and weaker .
Love , time to pay
Family warm at the dinner table chat scene , are slowly becoming a rarity . We have very little or not listen to his family a good day today , very few casually joke, or something defense flushed . With family members, we rarely face the challenge of the report to be submitted , or share an important commercial telephone communications ... ...
Love of the group of Dr. Du Busen so busy suffocating parents advice : " want to be good parents need to spend time. listen to how the children fell below the knee will take time ; listen to their children that the birds How broken wings need time . but time is the cornerstone of building mutual respect , love of the family is bound together . " However, he burst in the modern busy schedule does not go in gradually row .
Traditional family values is to allow families a sense of identity and belonging . We do not want with a group of busy with people living under one roof , we need to be aware of our uniqueness , character and value of living in the home .
Definitely worth
Over the years, my wife and I have always felt that family dinner is very natural. Of course, this means that you do not eat breakfast than those who get up earlier , also said that even if the office there is a lot of work to do, you have to put it received a briefcase , would rather do so little later . Over the past 25 years, we have proved the effect of family meals , all the sacrifice is worth it.
The following is one of the most significant results.
One of the benefits : to make nutritionally balanced family
" When I was preparing for a group of kindergarten -year-old child to do the screening , "a pediatrician , said: " I found that children with anemia and many other issues , since these parents have kids playing all the vaccinations , I would like to Ask them to do one thing - be sure to follow with their children eat a hearty breakfast, let them go to school . "
Harvard Medical School and the latest research report , regular meals with their parents were the children grow up to be cancer, heart or nervous system diseases, than the long years of their children eating less . Because the latter often do not eat fruits and vegetables , and eating too much "junk food . "
The second advantage : to enhance the feelings of family members
Meal the child time to chat with the adults , but the work pressure or family budgets, not a topic discussed at this time , because this is the intimate family time . Meal suitable topic such as " today's fun to say to us who share ah ? "or" What are your feelings on this matter ? " or " what the plans this weekend ? "
We also have another strict rules : If you can not praise the food on the table , then say nothing . This rule does not cook, especially on the side to be strictly enforced.
The third benefit : The affectionate message
Stable and regular meal times , regardless of the content of the food is rich or simple , will send a message to the child , is: "Some people put in some effort for me , I was really concerned about the needs of every day , it was really good to me . "
Sometimes a meal is really a little trouble , we have to adjust the timetable, but this is not what we as parents responsibility?
Although modern life so that we have to face additional pressure , but we do not bow to the environment . Children have the right to get what they deserve a day of food . When we take good care of children in the diet , the kind of happiness is often not particularly open fire to the family can never understand .
Article 4 : Dr. Du tell you: a woman how to relieve anxiety ?
1 . Do not change things in the struggle .
Want to have a sound psychological , the first principle is to learn to accept the fact can not be changed , otherwise it will drive the same as stepping on the brake , simply could not move. A woman might be " something in addition to other things are going well "; she was healthy , her husband loves her children very happy, affluence , life is not boring . However, she is likely because the Department does not come with her mother , I felt incredibly sad day . She let the negative factors to all the wonderful things around .
Today I do not know how many women are dissatisfied, not only because of some unnecessary luxury . We should be aware of dissatisfaction and complaints will become a habit , this attitude will make you pay the price , so you can not enjoy life 's pleasures .
2 . To reserve for themselves a little time.
If you do housewife in the home , and too busy to take care of the child , then sometimes have to satisfy my needs, play at least once a week to play , or shopping , dance aerobics , and even free time you can spend an afternoon . Is always very healthy, her mother if fixed to relieve feelings of leisure activities the whole family will benefit.
More importantly , we must protect marriage of love . Should be weekly or once every two weeks and her husband go out to date , temporarily put aside the issue that day , take mine. The two men get along with spending money , the benefits far exceeding the over- bought piece of furniture or a new dress . If a woman knows that he is her husband's lover , not just the wife , life would be more pleasant.
3 . Do not deal with major problems in the evening .
Tired of the person's cognitive ability has a great influence , through hard work , a busy day , even the most simple things people find it difficult to face . All the questions in the evening seems to have become difficult to resolve , when decisions are often emotional than rational . Discussions often turn into an unnecessary argument , in fact, stay as long as the main thing to talk about the morning , you can avoid this kind of pressure and hostility. A good night's sleep , the next morning and then brew a cup of coffee , very helpful to solve the problem .
4 . Try to work out the project .
Often work to the done to help alleviate the pressure out . To write down things that do have three advantages: (1 ) you know you will not forget ; (2 ) ensure that the most important thing you can not miss that way , even if that day did not get things done , at least the most important What has been done ; (3 ) things done on the cross out , you can leave a complete record.
