Start a no-phones dinner once a week

One meal, one basket by the door, everybody in it together.

A weekly rule is easier to keep than a daily one, and it is easier to enforce because everybody knows which night it is.

Adults first. Children agree to it instantly once the parents' phones are in the basket too.

Give it a name and a night. Unnamed intentions dissolve by the second week.
