My teens usually roll their eyes at “bonding time,” but this audiobook actually got them off their phones and laughing. We tried a few short scenes during dinner and somehow ended up doing accents and cracking jokes. It’s helped us connect in a way that doesn’t feel forced or cheesy. Total win for family energy.
