limite los roces


Explanation:
graze significa rozar/herir, aunque también encontré lo siguiente:

graze in hyperbolic use) punish severely
lo que sería castigos severos.

Sin embargo, pienso que lo de los roces es más lógico en este caso.

¿Qué puede hacer tu familia para incrementar la calidad del tiempo que pasa la familia durante sus alimentos/ mientras están sentados a la mesa

Limitar roces (entre los miembros de la familia)
Limitar castigos severos

Probablemente se refieren a evitar enojos o castigos durante la hora de los alimentos con la idea de que sea una convivencia agradable
