One night a week of dinner with phones put away

Today in many homes the family sits down to eat together, yet each person is lost in their own phone. Conversation between parents and children thins out, and small worries go unnoticed. Pick one night a week as a family. On that night, put all phones in another room or in a basket at mealtime. Take turns to say what was best and what was hardest in the week. Ask a neighbour to try it too, and swap experiences later. You need a basket, one fixed night and a little patience from everyone.
