Tune out and Turn off

April 23 -29 marks TV Turn Off Week from The Centre for Screen Time Awareness.

They admit that ” Our programs are not for everyone…but if you care about your children…you’re going to listen to what we have to say.”

Empowering people to take control of technology and not letting technology take control of them so they can live healthier lives.

While we don’t have the tube on 24/7, it can be a mind numbing sedative at times. When I flip through the 500 channel universe (really only about 40 channels programmed into remote), I can usually find nothing on or at least nothing worth investing my time watching.

Take some time this week to reflect on your use of tv and take a look at what TV Turn Off has to say.
