The seudas Shabbos has all the conditions for an open heart. The family is together, there is serenity, ambiance, delectable food, and so forth. What takes place at the seudas Shabbos will enter the hearts of the family as few other experiences will.
On the positive side, when we speak about the greatness of good middos, about tzaddikim, about stories and concepts of emunah that even children can understand—these ideas will seep deep into their hearts and minds. As said, it is a time for reconciliation with our families, a time for togetherness and love—and everything we do over Shabbos should be in this vein and style.
Every person should use his own wisdom and understanding of how to go about implementing this. The main thing is the idea that Shabbos Kodesh is a time for מקרבת ימין, a time for love and togetherness—as we were taught by the Rishonim, the Midrash, and real-life experience—bringing the beauty of Shabbos, Torah, and Yiddishkeit to the hearts of our families.
