Scenario

When families can't align on what present attention looks like

My family decided to have device-free dinners but my teenager keeps checking for 'emergencies' and my spouse keeps answering work texts and I'm sitting there trying to enforce something that feels increasingly arbitrary. We all want to be present but we can't agree on what that means.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family is discovering that shared presence requires negotiating different relationships to urgency and availability.
