Melda Sayi and her family used to spend their dinners in silence, with her husband exhausted from work and her children staring at their screens. Although they lived under one roof, a quiet distance grew between them, and conversations were brief and superficial. Seeking a change, Melda attended a program called The Parenting Project through her church and shared the lessons with her husband. They realized that physical presence and material provision were not enough to fill their children's emotional tanks. Together, they decided to ban televisions and mobile phones during dinner, which opened the door for their children to share their daily lives and feel truly heard. Today, the family enjoys a much warmer home filled with genuine conversation and mutual helpfulness. Read the full account of how this family found deeper connection.
