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.
To make the most of your family mealtime, follow these guidelines: 1  Turn off television, radio, mobile devices, etc., during dinner. 2  Have family dinners at least four or five times a week. 3  Enjoy positive conversation during the meal.  Spend an hour eating dinner, conversing, and cleaning up together.
