Is having meal time valuable and important?

Meal time is a valuable and important activity to a family. Having meal time is important because now-a-days everyone is usually on the phones or technology in general, rather than interacting with the rest of their family. This will help ones family interact more and communicate. From observing I’ve noticed that most families don’t really interact wit one another because they are always on their phones. Meal time is also valuable because it gives ones family time to catch up with each other and see how their lives been going. An experience I had was when a family members didn’t even know what their child was interested in because they never talk about those particular things. Therefore having meal time where everyone can come together and communicate is a very valuable and important thing.
