Our family dinners have turned into a silent staring contest

Lately, our family dinners have become this awkward quiet time where everyone just stares at their plates or phones. We used to chat and laugh, but now it feels like no one wants to start a conversation. I've tried bringing up fun topics or sharing little stories from my day, but it mostly gets a nod or a quick reply. My kids, especially the teenagers, seem glued to their screens even at the table, and my partner's usually tired after work and just wants to eat quietly. I really want dinner to be a time to reconnect, but it’s starting to feel like a chore instead of a family moment. We've tried a no-phone rule during meals, but it only lasted a day before the screens crept back. I’m wondering if maybe we need some new routines or a different approach that doesn’t feel forced. Has anyone else dealt with this shift in family dinner dynamics? What helped you bring back meaningful conversation without it turning into a power struggle? How do you keep teenagers engaged without making it a big deal?
