Sitting together for meals as a family has been linked to increased happiness, resilience, and attachment for all family members. The first 4 questions are ones my family has used at the dinner table with some regularity, but I figured I could expand this into a list of 10 ideas.

1: How Did You Feel Loved Today?

2: What's Something You're Grateful For?

3: What's a Mistake You Made Today?
This should focus on what you'd do differently now that you know and what you learned from it, rather than any shame.

4: How Did You Help Someone Today?

5: Alternate to #3: What's Something That Went Really Well Today?
If someone can't come up with a mistake, they should describe an outright victory - think more home run than hitting a single, it shouldn't just be something that was "OK" or "fine".

6: What Is Something New You Experienced?

7: What Was The Funniest Thing That Happened To You Today?

8: What Was Something You Could Have Used Help With?

9: My Favourite Part of the Day Was...

10: What Are My Hopes for Tomorrow?
