The Family Table - Mad, Sad, Glad |

 According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, kids who share meals with their parents are healthier, happier, and better students. To get that conversation going around the family table, and to give everyone an equal turn, try the Mad, Sad, Glad approach suggested by Children's Ministry magazine. At dinner, encourage each family member to share something about the day that made them mad, sad, or glad, helping each to reflect on the day and to identify feelings. Not only can your family make more of a connection than just a list of what they did, but you can also pray more specifically for one another. Consider even keeping a journal to watch how God is working in your family's lives.
