Every year, we have a 'No TV week'. It started a long time ago when a cousin and her family did the same thing.
It's refreshing to not be tied down to the 'stupid box' as I sometimes call it. Yes, you can find educational shows and watch good DVDs, etc... BUT it's the TIME we spend on watching that's one of the big problems.
I challenge you and your family to a 'NO TV Week'.
Many years later, I now prefer to NOT watch much TV. I have it, we own many movies and being that we live in 'Tornado Alley' - we use it for weather updates of course, but it's no longer part of my daily life.
Things we have done in this week - read aloud, board games, quiet reading in bedrooms, listening to music with or without dancing and singing, singing A-Capella, crocheting, knitting,making gifts... The boys had pickle eating races. We made cookies, popcorn balls and many other things from scratch. My daughter started writing her first novel in NO TV WEEK. HAVE FUN!
