“We’re all time-impoverished, we’re all busy. But I make sure, when I’m there, that I’m present. I’m not checking my phone. I’m not doing a million things.”

“I think conversation is really important,” Gellar, 38, told Us in August 2015. “I can’t tell you how many times I go to a restaurant and I see families, the second they sit down they just hand out iPads and phones to the kids, and I’m thinking to myself, This should be a special time. Like, I remember when I was younger and I got to go out to eat, that was such a special occasion; that’s what grown-ups did. I want to maintain that for my family.” 

Check out the video above to find out how the Gellar-Prinze brood spends quality time together to create cherished memories.
