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.
Busy schedules of both parents and children make it harder to have family dinners.. But families may not be aware of the benefits that come with regularly eating together at the table. Research suggests that having dinner together as a family at least four times a week has positive effects on child development. Family dinners have been linked to a lower risk of obesity, substance abuse, eating disorders, and an increased chance of graduating from high school.
