In an interview with The Washington Post\u2019s<\/em> weekly family section (\u201cThe mundane, radical, fun, painful ways we can help our children find happiness<\/a>\u201d by Deborah Famer Kris, February 2, 2023), Harvard happiness researcher Dr. Robert Waldinger recommended one relatively simple step every family could take to increase family well-being: a shared family dinnertime.<\/p>\n

Waldinger\u2019s research, laid out in his new book, The Good Life: Lessons from the World\u2019s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness<\/em>, \u201cpoints to the protective power of family rituals and routines.\u201d Kids, his research suggests, \u201cneed connection, even when they become teens and appropriately try to pull away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThose routines,\u201d the study shows, \u201cprovide a connective tissue that our kids need and crave.\u201d He says that \u201cfor most kids, it\u2019s reassuring that structure stays while they\u2019re going through a tumultuous time,\u201d like adolescence. In a week when the CDC reported that teenage girls and teens who identify as LGBQ+ report being sadder<\/a> than at any time since they began measuring, it\u2019s comforting to think that there\u2019s something we can do at home that might help.<\/p>\n

According to Waldinger, research shows that \u201cregular family dinners correlate with higher grade-point averages, greater self-confidence, and lower rates of substance abuse and depression.\u201d The research even suggests that \u201csimply being in the same room together once a day is a ritual that helps family members stay connected.\u201d Of course, not all families have the luxury of sitting down together to eat \u2014 due to work schedules, health, or other important factors that can interfere \u2014 but at least we can think of shared family mealtimes as something to strive for when circumstances allow.<\/p>\n

I wondered whether those benefits of eating dinner together might also extend to better literacy outcomes. I asked Dr. Waldinger, a friend from high school, whether there had been any research showing such a connection, because, when you think about it, dinners together can lead to conversation, vocabulary development (for younger children), or increased critical thinking \u2014 especially if families, between their bites and gulps, discuss the news or other topics of the day.<\/p>\n

Bob did<\/em> know someone whose work linked family dinner time and literacy: Anne Fishel, at Massachusetts General Hospital, had started the Family Dinner Project<\/a> (FDP). She writes: \u201cParents tend to think that reading aloud to their kids is the best way to build early reading skills and teach new words. We couldn\u2019t agree more that reading aloud to your children is extremely valuable, for those reasons and many others! But in fact, studies show that young children can learn more new words through dinner conversation<\/a>\u00a0than they do from hearing stories read aloud.\u201d<\/p>\n

At our dinner table, with Dad being a foreign affairs columnist, that conversation contained a lot of words about foreign policy and Middle East peace initiatives or my husband and I arguing over a dangling participle in his next column, but it could also have been about our girls\u2019 favorite books (see Totto-Chan<\/em>) or the latest Gilmore Girls<\/em> episode or their losing science fair projects or losing sports team records. But you don\u2019t have to be sitting with Americans or speaking English at the dinner table to see these positive effects: Research across cultures and languages confirms similar positive effects of dinner-table talk on children\u2019s language development whether in Spanish, Norwegian, or Hebrew!<\/p>\n

In a 2006 study of preschoolers<\/a>, Catherine Snow (a member of Planet Word\u2019s Advisory Board) and Diane E. Beals found that dinner table talk resulted in children\u2019s exposure to lots of literacy-boosting skills, including more sophisticated vocabulary, what the researchers called \u201crare words\u201d (words that don\u2019t appear on a widely-used list of the 3,000 Most Common Words<\/a>). Here\u2019s an example from one of the dinnertime dialogues they recorded:<\/p>\n

EMILY: \u201cMe need butter on this!\u201d<\/p>\n

FATHER: \u201cYes, you do need butter on that corn.\u201d<\/p>\n

MOTHER: \u201cYeah here\u2019s the butter you twirl<\/em> it over the top of the big cube<\/em> of butter.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, that lucky Emily will know \u201ctwirl\u201d when she roasts her first s\u2019more or \u201ccube\u201d when she builds her first miniature igloo or she studies geometry in 9th grade!<\/p>\n

Another finding: increased conversation led to \u201clearning to give explanations and tell stories [and] learning to take turns\u201d \u2014 not to mention not talking with your mouth full and saying \u201cplease\u201d and \u201cthank you\u201d more often! (New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, No. 111, Spring 2006, p. 51)<\/p>\n

Some ideas from the FDP for dinner-table literacy-boosting activities are here<\/a>.\u00a0They print a calendar full of fun dinnertime recipe and conversation. Imagine the delightful table talk your family could have if you invented a dish to go with a favorite story once a month!<\/p>\n

Sitting down for dinner together to build family well-being and literacy skills \u2014 that\u2019s truly wonderful food for thought! Or, as the Family Dinner Project notes on its website, watch as dining together turns voracious eaters into voracious readers!<\/p>\n
