Committed to turning off the Television!
Well o.k. today is the first day. The t.v. is usually on in our house from 8 am to 11 pm everyday. I think it was Kay who mentioned on another thread about turning off the t.v. and the effects on children's learning. I have been campaigning to have the t.v. moved into the basement, just need to convince DH. Our t.v. is in our family room where DS and I spend most of the day. DS was sitting on the floor this morning mesmerized by the t.v. he always stops playing during the commericals. I think the music attractes his attention. So I shut off the t.v. and he went back to playing. I am committing to not watching t.v. during the day so from 8 am to 7 pm for the month of March. Anyone out there who has the t.v. on all day as well care to join me?
How come my posted ended up way at the bottom of the page with the Archive stuff? Just curious.
BUMP!
