National TV Turn-Off Week

(via)

Today marks the start of National TV Turn-Off Week. According to the Center for Screen-Time Awareness, turning off the TV allows your family to spend quality time together reading, thinking, creating and doing. Personally, I think that denying my children television will actually make them want it more. In fact, I actually use television as a development tool for my twin two-year-olds.
