Real Family Dinner Projects Q&A
This mini-episode is a special edition! We're answering a tough question submitted to us by a Family Dinner Project follower on Instagram:
“I have a partner who feels dinnertime is time to eat and not talk. I do my best to see his perspective. Our littles have trauma related to foster care, so they tend to talk so much that it takes them over an hour to eat. One has sensory processing and has been through feeding therapy. She has a limited diet to begin with, and we want to maximize her intake. Both have ADHD. Any suggestions?”Key Takeaways:
- Go to 2:43 for the beginning of a discussion on how to untangle family dinner dynamics from nutritional intake
- Go to 6:58 for a conversation about handling sensory processing challenges at dinnertime
- Go to 10:28 for strategies to help with time management without adding pressure to the table
- Go to 12:30 for a discussion of the relationship dynamics involved in this question, and how to handle the difference of opinion between the two parenting partners
