It's dinnertime...
do you know where your family is?

Many of today's families suffer from time famine and parental anxiety. Parents want to provide their children with opportunities without running them ragged. Families have lost control of their time and are missing out on family rituals, like regular dinners, visits with grandparents, and family relations. This has led to a loss of confidence in leadership, relegating parents to the roles of chauffeur, purchasing agent, and recreation director.

Community members also provide their personal views and ideas about overscheduled kids and underconnected families. This resource includes a facilitator guide featuring questions to prompt group discussion and suggested program schedules for one-, two-, and three-part sessions. The guide is ideal for leading discussions and versatile enough to be used in a variety of settings.
