Millions Will Participate in Annual Turnoff Annual celebration where families, children, school and organizations turn off the screens and turn on life. Enjoy life for one week
“Screen-Free Week is a much needed respite from the screen media dominating the lives of so many children” said Tamika. “Now, more than ever, it’s imperative that we help children discover the joys of life beyond screens.” On average, preschool children spend over four and a half hours a day consuming screen media, while older children spend over seven hours a day including multitasking. Excessive screen time is linked to a number of problems for children, including childhood obesity, poor school performance, and problems with attention span. Screen-Free Week (formerly TV-Turnoff) is coordinated by the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, a national advocacy organization devoted to reducing the impact of commercialism on children. Since the Week’s founding in 1994, it has been celebrated by millions of children and their families worldwide. For more information, visit www.screenfree.org. End
