We need to get better at this! It's a battle getting the kids to eat, so we tend to focus more on that than on connecting as a family. Our talks with our kids tend to happen more during walks (dropoff/pickup/evening walks) or at bedtime.
Do you talk about your day as a family while the kids eat dinner?

Yes but it's not easy to get info. Mostly it's like this:
What did you do today? (blank stares)
Who did you play with? (I don't remember)
Did you play with ___? (yes)
Is he nice? (i guess so)
Did you go outside? (yes)
Did you play with the dog? (yes)
What did the teacher say today? (blank stares)
Sometimes I get a little more than that.

My sister's family does "High, low, high" where everyone says one good thing (high) that happened that day, then a bad thing that happened that day (low) and then one more good thing (high).
I'm going to steal it when my daughter starts talking!
