Per the posts below - Screen Free Week

jetgrrrl

Funnily enough after I read the posts on tv below I opened my email and found an email about Screen Free week from the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. They're a pretty cool organization that studies marketing's effect on kids and advocates for sensible limits. Anyway, every year they encourage people to try going screen-free for a week (for play, obviously wouldn't work for work) and they suggest lots of activities, etc. This year it's April 29 - May 5.

I wonder what percentage of kids still get exposed to commercials now. So many parents just use either DVDs or streaming.

DS's school encourages this.  I think we could convince him to do it but I would have a hard time doing it after he went to bed.  I guess I could read and have more sex, lol.  But wait, is an ebook considered a screen?

That's probably what bugs me most about the kids watching tv is that they are at the point where they are constantly asking for things they've seen on commercials.  Makes me want to sign back up for Netflix.

I would say no.  But FB, yes.  P
