Started making Sunday dinner a non-negotiable family tradition at my house. Everyone puts their phones away, we sit together for at least an hour. I cook most of it, the kids help. We talk about the week, no distractions. My kids actually look forward to it now. In a world where everyone's glued to screens, this feels like one of the few real moments we have together. Old school stuff actually works.
Big respect for making this non-negotiable. That's the kind of tradition that actually sticks with kids when they get older.
Love this. With three kids and work chaos, having that one anchor point where everyone just sits together sounds like exactly what we need.
This is huge. Sunday dinners without phones is something my family needed to hear about. I'm stealing this idea and making it happen at our place.
This is gold. We tried something similar and the difference it made in how my family talks to each other is insane. No phones means actual conversations happen. Revolutionary concept right?
How long did it take your family to adjust? My kids were NOT happy when I first suggested this and I didn't want to be that dad but it's so needed.

Doing this for years now and honestly it's the best parenting decision I ever made. Sunday dinner is sacred in our house. Everything else can wait.
