6 Dinner Conversation Starters

By Sharon Rose



        Dinner conversation starters can help make eating together at the table a tradition in your household.  Table boredom, OUT!  There is promising news for strengthening family bonds, that studies show most families eat dinner at home most nights.  But I have found no clear studies as to what percentage of families are actually sitting down at the table, together, to share a meal.  Often times, TV shows and social media are a distraction, with family members scattered in various rooms at mealtime.  With this valuable old tradition, this quality time will not only strengthen relationships, but improve family nutrition.  Parents are right there to encourage children to make good food choices at the table.  Parents and children can also find a comfort level in communicating with one another.  It's a great time to find out more about one another, from how your day went, to what your dreams are.  The family will be happier and healthier!  Here is our Dinner Conversation Starter List.  Have your questions ready and add your own questions to the list.  Personalize it!  Make it fun!
