Over 20 years of research has shown what parents have known for a long time: regular family meals lead to long-term benefits, including higher resilience, self-esteem, and grade-point-averages, and lower rates of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, eating disorders, and depression.

Guest Brianne DeRosa, MFA, is the Content Manager for The Family Dinner Project and co-author of their new book, “Eat, Laugh, Talk: The Family Dinner Playbook.” As a freelance writer and consultant to nonprofit organizations, she has spent over a decade working in communications, program development and creative initiatives. 

FDP's new book helps kickstart a habit of putting together fun family dinners, including:

• Conversation starters
• Quick and easy recipes
• Fun table games for everyone to play
• Tips for overcoming obstacles, setting dinnertime goals, managing busy schedules, and engaging everyone in the conversation

With anecdotes from real families who have become a part of The Family Dinner Project’s growing movement, this book will inspire you to look forward to dinnertime (together)!

The Family Dinner Playbook’s Four Core Principles:

1. This is not about perfect
2. We are not the food police
3. We are realistic about technology
4. We are all about the fun
