How families can create genuine presence during shared time

Our family sits together for dinner every night but everyone is mentally somewhere else and I can feel the absence even though we're all physically here. My spouse thinks I'm overthinking it but our teenager mentioned feeling lonely at our own dinner table and now I know it's not just me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Physical proximity masquerades as connection while true presence remains elusive.
