Family time is one of the most important times in a child’s life．My family and I 21 a lot of time together，including every 22 ．Even when my father is　 23　 on business，my mother，my sister，and I sit down at the table to eat and 　24　 our day．We don’t watch television but have

　 25　 together．As a teenager，　 26　 with my parents is not the most fun thing I do but I feel it is necessary．I learn from them　 27 　we talk, whether it is about my dad’s job or my mother’s day.

I did a little research on the “family table”　 28　 ．Statistics show that only 50% of 　29　 sit down to dinner together each night．That’s a　 30 ，because researchers 　31　 that kids who have these regular family dinners have 　32　 behavior，grades，and a larger vocabulary．They are also less 　33　 to smoke，drink，do drugs，or have eating disorders Time with their parents makes kids more 　34　 and gives them a sense of　 35　 and safety．Plus，they learn better manners．

Now with many single-parent families or homes 　36　 both parents work，making time together has become harder．There have been many recent studies showing kids are“　 37　 ”than they used to be．I think it’s primarily parents’　 38　 ．Only good things　 39　 taking 15 minutes away from television and five minutes from video games to have this time with your family．By spending 20 minutes with　 40　 ，I believe this idea of “wild kids” would decrease greatly．
