We are told that 'a family that eats together stays together'. We even follow it by making the whole family sit in front of the television while eating, right? Wrong. Television does nothing to help make the family relationships better. It's thus better to give the TV a break and to sit at the dinner table. Family dinners need another important part－conversations that bring in a pleasant atmosphere.
It often serves well to start the conversation right before dinner so that setting the table and doing other things may become less boring. as a result, there are no embarrassing moments when people are actually eating. Also, you can change the topic if you feel that it might start arguments.
Children aren't usually very good at sharing information and don't know how to reply when you ask them questions like 'How was your school today?' For this, you can ask them about the after-class activities that they might be taking part in.
Therefore, all controversial (有争议的) topics should not be talked about. Actually, if you have had a funny incident in your day at the work, share it with others. What's more, it serves well if you share your childhood memories with your family. In a word, it is always important to choose the right topics for the family dinner conversations.
A. Try to know more about them than just their school life.
B. It's often difficult to start a conversation at a family dinner.

F. They, especially your kids, will feel excited to hear about what you did as a child.
G. Conversations during dinnertime should encourage family members to eat well.
Ways to protect eyes from screens
