Have a TV Free Week
Turn off that TV! It may not sound like a favorite activity to the kids, but it’s a good one for the whole family.
Taking a break from watching television gives you more time to do things as a family. You can talk, play games, go special places… just have fun.
Yes, it’s hard missing favorite shows. But give yourself a little time and that might feel just a little less important to you. There’s a lot more to life than just seeing what happens to characters on a screen.
Great advice! T.V. can be a wonderful escape from reality, but nobody needs more than a few hours per week. I find that when I turn it off, I have so much more time for other activities, like reading, working out and spending more quality time with my family. By cutting out the mindless television watching, you can free up many hours of extra time to do other more rewarding activities.
