    No Screen November! Take The Challenge Not Because of Fear, But Because There Are Greener Pastures Ahead If You Do!

    I originally anticipated only spending one week on No Screen November, but after all the feedback we've received and the concerns that parents have shared with us, we have a lot more to talk about that we hope will be helpful to you in beginning and sustaining a screen fast, and then continuing many of those habits for years to come.  We spent a lot of last week talking about the negative impacts of screens, but this week, we focus on painting a picture of the amazing things you can expect by taking control of screen usage in your families and getting each member more fully engaged in the real world.
