As our world speeds up, demands on our time increase, and the number of activities each family member participates in keeps growing, our time spent together as a family suffers greatly.  It is so difficult to prioritize family time when we are being pulled in so many different directions.  As a result, family dinners have nearly become a thing of the past.  Less than half of families say they have family dinners together, a much smaller number than even a single generation ago.

New research is showing that spending just one hour together each day can reap great rewards for family relationships and the long-term happiness and development of our children.  While that seems like a long amount of time in the life of a busy family, you probably already spend close to that in dinner preparations and eating, so combining that time with family together time can be relatively simple and infinitely beneficial.

The Hour that Matters Most delves into the science and studies surrounding how wonderful this family time really can be.  With recipes, tips, photos and life stories about how spending one hour together at dinner has transformed families, this book is a very inspirational read that will get you looking forward to that precious time each day.

The Hour that Matters Most will also help guide you into creating conversation with your children, encouraging them to share ideas, talk about their days and connect with you on a level most busy families can miss out on.  While not being accusing or trying to make you feel guilty, this book provides excellent insights and practical tips to make the most of your hour that matters most.
