Many people say that it is not important for familes to have (=> that family members share/have) meals together nowadays since it is a waste of time. However, in my opinion, It is crucial for people to have meals with family. (=> it is crucial that people have meals with other family members. = it is crucial that people have family meals frequently.)
This is because it not only makes (a) strong bonding among the members of family but also has positive effect (=> 'a positive effect', or 'positive effects') on (their) child's education.
To begin with, most families can create sturdy bonding among the members of family (=> among family members) if they have meals together. While having dine, each member can communicate (=> communicate with each other) and share their ideas which they could not have talked (=> shared with) each other before because they were in busy (=> 'busy', or 'too busy') .
For example, I have a friend whose brother and sister were not in close relationship (=> brothers and sisters / have a close relationship = in close relationships). One day, his father decided to having
dinner (=> have dinner) regularly together including both the brother and the sister (=> his son and daughter). Although his brother and sister were used not (=> not used) to talk each other ever, by having regularly family dinner (=> as they had not often shared dinner together), They slowly opened their mind. Consequently, his father's thought (=> father thought it) was successful. Today, my friend's family is the one of the most peaseful (families) and having strong bonding familes (=> a strongly bounded family). ==> "That's it. I give up."..
Secondly, it has considerable effects on childs if their families have meals together. Traditionally, dines provide familes to educational effect on their childs such as ethiquets. For instance, when I was seven years old, I would have meals with my grandparents. During that time, I had learned many things including polite attitudes, and ethiquets as having meals with adults. Otherwise, one of my friends who had not had meals with his family, experienced hard time in a situation having meals with some elder person. This is because he had to be polite and carefull in that case even though he had not learned such ethiquets before at home.
On the whole, It is helpful for family bonding as well as educational for childs if they have meals with their family. For these reasons, I disagree with the statement that it is not important for families to have meals together nowadays.
