Most families have phones present at dinner. Even brief glances during meals reduce attention and conversation. Eating one dinner this week without phones present — yours, children's, partner's — produces measurably different family interaction.
How to make it work
All phones in another room (not just face-down on table). Specific time (8pm or family dinner time). Conversation prompts if needed ('what was best part of your day').
Most families who try this for a month make it permanent. The difference in connection becomes obvious within days.
