Here's a sure-fire recipe for making family dinners great.
When devices are at the dinner table, it's so easy for a "quick text" or "just one video" to turn a meal into a digital free-for-all, even if you have screen-time rules. In fact, 76 percent of parents are concerned that using mobile devices during family dinner takes away from quality conversations.
So what can your family do to keep dinner full of fun, memorable moments instead of texts and tweets? Take the #DeviceFreeDinner Challenge and make a shared commitment to keeping devices away from the dinner table. It's a small step that makes a big difference. After all, research shows that dinner-table conversations lead to healthier, happier kids.
