In carbon family size of carbon is smallest.
A size of carbon atom is small, so between 2p orbital of two carbon atom effective overlapping happens.
But when size of atom increases then effective overlapping does not happens between atoms.
That is why in carbon family, C will have strongest p$$\pi $$ $$-$$ p$$\pi $$ bond.
