Wisdom Wednesday


     It’s Wisdom Wednesday! Today, I want to share a few resources that might help you facilitate the family dinner ritual I described yesterday. 

     The Family Dinner Project is a grassroots movement of food, fun and conversation about things that matter. I suggested it as a source of conversation starters in my post yesterday, but you can learn even more about the movement’s focus on family dinner and family healthcare if you visit the website. I really liked this site and thought it was helpful because of the step-by-step guide to help you plan and facilitate family dinner. The Family Dinner Project provides information about how to become a family dinner organizer. Also, it gives you dinner menus and recipes designed for family preparation and fun activities for the dinner table.  

     Other sites for conversation starters include Dinner Table Talk and Easter Dinner Conversation Starters. I liked Dinner Table Talk because these questions are easy and fun. Emerging adults can use these questions to encourage family members to get to know each other better. Easter Dinner Conversation Starters are helpful because these questions are very light and easy to answer as well. Both websites are designed like a chart so you can print them and cut them into strips to be placed in a jar for each family member.
