On May 2-8, children, families, and communities around the world can re-discover the joys of life beyond the screen. By unplugging from digital entertainment and spending your free time playing, reading, daydreaming, creating, exploring, and connecting with family and friends a whole new world can open up for you.Screen-free week (Formerly TV-Turnoff) is not just about snubbing screens for seven days; it is a springboard for important lifestyle changes that will improve well-being and quality of life all year long. The first screen free event was held in 1996 and has been sponsored every year since by the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. (CCFC) The week is endorsed by leading educational, environmental and public health organizations.Let’s face it; children spend far too much time with screens.
