Started a Sunday tradition where everyone puts phones down and we eat together. No exceptions. My boys are learning to hold a real conversation, look people in the eye, and appreciate good food and family. It's old fashioned but it works. My grandfather did this with us and I'm doing it now. Some things shouldn't be modernized. This is how you build a family that actually knows each other.
I love this. The no exceptions part is important too. Kids respect boundaries when you're consistent with them.
This is awesome. We do something similar on Sundays and honestly it's become my favorite part of the week. No screens, no distractions, just sitting at the table together. The conversations you have when people aren't staring at phones are just different. Way better.
Sunday Supper is such a good tradition. We do something similar and it's become the thing everyone looks forward to. No phones is key.
We need more of this. Family dinners used to be normal and now it feels radical. Good on you for making it happen.
This is exactly what they need. In a world of screens and constant noise, sitting down together with no distractions hits different. Your boys will remember this.
Sunday supper hits different when everyone's actually there. We do backyard camping on Saturday nights and then big breakfast Sunday morning but we're definitely stealing this phone-free dinner tradition. No exceptions is the key I think.
This is the way. Took us a while to get our family on board but now it's non-negotiable. My kids actually look forward to it because they know it's their time to talk about their week without competition from screens.
Sign in to join the conversation.
Love this. We tried to do this but it's a battle getting my three to put their phones down. How old are your boys? Maybe I need to be firmer about the no exceptions rule like you're doing.
