From the survey results, it is found that most people have to communicate with their family members at the table，and most people have fixed seats at the dinner table at home. There is no doubt that eating is a good time for communication. I think the time for eating can be fully used to help them communicate.
However, there is usually an unspoken seating arrangement at the Chinese dining table. This arrangement is a marker of hierarchical, honor and patriarchal structures in Chinese families, a reminder of one’s place at home.The guests of lowest position sit furthest from the seat of honor. When a family holds a banquet, the seat of honor is for the guest with the highest status and the head of the house takes the least prominent seat.
So I think the seat arrangement and family status and rights hinder the communication between children and parents to some extent.
Next step, I will use the time at the dinner table to promote communication between children and parents, so that they can communicate more effectively without rights and family status, and at the same time combine the knowledge I gained from the book 《shared experiences in human communication》 I read before. : Non-verbal and verbal communication, conscious and unconscious communication.
