Some of my favorite memories of childhood are of sitting around the dinner table listening to the stories of my parents and being listened to as well. In a child care setting the same care is given to interacting with the children and allowing them the time to interact with each other. Meals provide a great way to sit down and really pay attention to one another. Even children who are pre-speakers can join in on the conversation and learn from the give and take of the speakers as they discuss their day or what ever topic comes up. At our dinner table many things are discussed from what kind of food is preferred to what imaginary animals were seen in "imagination land" today. It is a wonderful time full of learning and laughter.
