It was called Peter Walsh's Stripped Down Family Challenge.<br /><br />Part of the challenge was for this one family to go 7 days without cell phones, tv, computers etc. It was pretty eye-opening and the pre-challenge tape looked a little familiar with everyone on computers, ipods, ds's and tv. - really disconnected. <br /><br />We all watched it as a family (an irony that wasn't lost on the kids - "You want us to reduce screen time by MAKING us watch tv??? :) It was encouraging to see how much fun and more connected the family in the show were during and after the challenge.<br /><br />We decided to spend this week being aware of just how much screen time we normally have and then discuss what our limits will be. <br /><br />I think we'll probably end up doing a screen free block of time after dinner too because that seems much clearer and easier to follow.The Oakville Pearsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068252091353528307noreply@blogger.com
