Family dinners are becoming a lost ritual in my house, and I think that's a real problem for how we connect with each other. We used to eat together every night, but between my kids' sports and my late meetings, we're down to maybe twice a week. I'm not saying every meal needs to be a formal event, but when we skip those shared moments, conversations get shorter and everyone retreats to their own screens. Can a family stay close without regularly sitting down together?
