The Family Dinner Project The brainchild of Shelly London, former fellow at Harvardâs Advanced Leadership Initiative, The Family Dinner Project is a growing movement that champions family dinner as an opportunity for family members to connect with each other through food, fun and conversation about things that matter.
The average 5.1 dinners that families share each week is down slightly from 5.4 in 1997, but unchanged from 2001. Since 1997, slightly more than half of parents have told Gallup they eat dinner together as a family at least six times per week, including between 35% and 38% saying they do so all seven days.t the same time, parents who work full time dine slightly less frequently with their families than those who work part time or who don't work (5.0 dinners vs. 5.3). Also, parents who are aged 35 and older enjoy fewer family dinners than do younger parents (5.0 dinners vs. 5.3, respectively).
