Some families have a strict no-TV policy for Sundays. We don't -- though we do direct our children's attention toward movies made to build faith -- like Veggie Tales! So maybe, since today is our last day of Screen-Free Week, we'll just get the fresh veggies out of the crisper and make up our own scripture stories! Would making a video be breaking the spirit of the Screen-Free theme???
So, tomorrow, May 6th, I'll get back on the blog and report as to how well we did with the pledge to take a break from screen time.
In a predictive statement, I think saying "No! It's Screen-Free Week, remember?" won't be too hard -- what will be harder is having the energy, means, and wherewithal to actually do something else and not just moan about how long a week without TV seems.
I'm going to tape the list of 101 Screen-Free Activities (provided by the Center for a Commercial-Free Childhood, sponsor of Screen-Free Week) to the monitor after I'm done scheduling this post to show up on Sunday May 5th. Then I will shut the computer down and not check my email or log in to blog or anything until Monday of next week. See you then!
