Screen-Free Week Starts Today

Since you are reading this, you probably don’t know / don’t care that it is screen-free week. This year the people behind screen-free week are taking things a step further by asking you to turn OTHER people’s TVs off too. I’ll tell you what, they come near my computers / TV and they might ended up starting “emergency room week.”

We recommend families participate in Screen-Free Week by turning off their TVs, computers and other screens for entertainment April 18–24, 2011. In addition to the health benefits, many people find that choosing to cut back their screen time offers an opportunity to replace it with family activities such as taking walks, playing games and spending time outside, and this can be rewarding and satisfying.
