We seem to be adjusting well to not having the TV on. However our eldest in the house left for eco week and so now the boys are very lonely. No TV and no big sister telling them what to do. BUT.. we have managed to keep them entertained and I’m enjoying the fact that no one bothers to asks about the TV anymore.The best part is that both my husband and I have also not watched the TV.
I will be honest here and admit that we are lucky the weather has been in the upper 60′s and low 70′s all week. The birds are singing, the flowers are starting to bloom.. who doesn’t want to get outside. It seems that most of our neighborhood is outside at night, TVs are turned off and everyone is out and about saying hello and greeting each other once again. NO TV week might be more of a challenge if it was snowing or pouring down rain.. then we would have to come up with some great indoor fort building tasks! I would recommend that if you are having beautiful weather turn off the TV and go outside with your kids! Have fun try some new adventures… walk 20 steps out the front door and then 20 steps out the back door and talk about what you see. Those little eyes have amazing depths and taking the time to listen to what they are seeing reminds everyone of the importance of slowing down.
