TV Turnoff Week is Sunday, Sept. 20 - Sept. 26. Will your family be participating in TV Turnoff Week?
Screen time cuts into family time and is a leading cause of obesity in both adults and children. Excessive use of screens for recreational purposes leads to a more sedentary and solitary lifestyle, and that is unhealthy for all of us, both mentally and physically.
What's So Great About TURNOFF Week? Turning off the screen gives us time to think, read, create, and do the things we never have time for. This allows us to connect with our families and engage in our communities. We feel good about ourselves as we grow more physically and mentally active.
I stopped and checked out a book this afternoon from the Public Library. Take my lead ~ turn off the TV and find a good book! Make it a family evening of reading and fun! Enjoy the time with your children.
