From May 4th – 10th this year join children, families and communities across the country as they “unplug” for Screen-Free Week. Screen-Free Week is an annual event that challenges folks to turn off their TVs, tablets, computers, phones, and other “screens” (with the exception of use for work and homework obligations) in order to spend their free time doing screen-free activities with friends and family! It is organized by the folks at Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.
