Persuasive Speech

Eating Together Think about the last dinner you ate. Were you alone or were you with your family? Did you sit down at the table or did you just grab it on the go? Some may say they simply don’t have time to sit as a family and eat all together, due to work, children’s sports or whatever the excuse may be. At least three times a week families should sit down together at the dinner table and eat as a unit.
Studies show families that eat healthy means together as opposed to picking up fast food helps maintain a routine and increase communication skills. More positive effects of eating as a family include decreasing the number of eating disorders, raising self esteem, lowering the risk of teen pregnancy, lowering the risk of depression and lowering the risk of drug abuse. Not only does it help your child in their future but it gives you a chance as a parents or older sibling to find out about the child’s day, how their grades are and if they need help or advice on anything. It give you a chance to take your part as a role model and guide them in making good decisions. Other positive effects eating together brings is higher goals in school, at the dinner table many things are talked about and this time gives you a chance to explain the importance of good grades. It is also a great time to persuade them to use their imagination and become anything in the word that they want, as long as they make the grades to go to school for it. Studies show that 40 percent of children who eat dinner with their family make A’s and B’s, have higher vocabulary and better attendance in school. If they hear about their elders going to work sick and when they don’t sleep good at night they’ll be motivated to do the same, they don’t want to look like a wimp in your eyes. If you just remind them that their grades and attendance are very important and that drugs and alcohol aren’t always the best path to take, they’ll keep that advice in their heads, weather they admit it or not.
