  • Back to School Family Dinners
    2025/07/30

    It's Back to School season, and we're talking about how to get back into the swing of family dinners during the busy nights ahead! In this episode of The Family Dinner Project Podcast, Bri and Annie tackle back to school family dinners: How to plan them, what to eat, and how to manage everyone's big feelings with smart conversation ideas. Plus, Annie gives advice on easing back into the routine, and challenges Bri to a "lightning round" with questions about different ages and stages. What to do when a teenager suddenly decides they're a vegetarian this school year? How to deal with a preschooler who suddenly won't eat their favorite foods? And how to manage the tough transition when one kid heads off to college and leaves an empty seat -- and a sibling -- behind?


    Key Takeaways:

    • Go to 5:25 for Bri's tips on coming up with ideas for easy meals
    • Go to 14:53 for Annie's thoughts on transitioning into the school year with conversation and a ramp-up to routine
    • Go to 20:11 for the "lightning round" -- Bri's answers to questions about teens experimenting with vegetarian diets, preschoolers who refuse their favorite foods, and the first family dinners after sending a child to college

  • Real Family Dinner Projects Q&A
    2025/06/04

    This mini-episode is a special edition! We're answering a tough question submitted to us by a Family Dinner Project follower on Instagram:

    “I have a partner who feels dinnertime is time to eat and not talk. I do my best to see his perspective. Our littles have trauma related to foster care, so they tend to talk so much that it takes them over an hour to eat. One has sensory processing and has been through feeding therapy. She has a limited diet to begin with, and we want to maximize her intake. Both have ADHD. Any suggestions?”

    Key Takeaways:

    • Go to 2:43 for the beginning of a discussion on how to untangle family dinner dynamics from nutritional intake
    • Go to 6:58 for a conversation about handling sensory processing challenges at dinnertime
    • Go to 10:28 for strategies to help with time management without adding pressure to the table
    • Go to 12:30 for a discussion of the relationship dynamics involved in this question, and how to handle the difference of opinion between the two parenting partners
