Disconnect to Reconnect at Mealtime
Join 10,00,000 families choosing screens off, hearts on.
We’ve all been there. Dinner is on the table, your child is restless, and in a moment of exhaustion you slide a phone across. The screen works like magic — the food goes in, the tantrum fades, the room is quiet.
But silence has a price. Already, thousands of families have chosen connection over distraction. We’re on a mission to reach 10,00,000 pledges across India.

What We Lose When We Hand Over the Screen
What feels like peace is actually distance. The screen wins your child’s attention, but you lose their presence. Conversations vanish. Family stories go untold. The table becomes full of food but empty of connection.
Lost Awareness
Children miss the flavors, signals of fullness, and joy of eating.
Developmental Impact
90% of children meet screens before age 2+. It negatively impacts their overall brain development, cognitive abilities and social growth.
Conversations stop. Bonds between the family weaken.

About the Screen-Free Movement
It doesn’t take a revolution. It takes one simple choice: screens off, hearts on. Every meal can become a moment to laugh, share, and really see each other again. This is where healthier eating, stronger bonds, and cherished family memories begin.
