In our family we also try to have dinner together, especially on weekends. My daughter helps set the table and then tells me what happened at school. A simple thing, but it brings us closer together.
It was like that with us too, while the boys were small. Now that they are abroad, dinner is just the two of me and my wife, but we still set the table properly - no TV. Elena, you are doing well that the daughter is talking about school, that is the most important thing.
We also try to eat together, although it varies when I'm on duty at the hospital. It works best on Saturday, when I bake bread and we all sit down without rushing. I'm glad that Elena's daughter talks about school - our son used to be the same, but now he studies and only calls sometimes.
