Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
~Philippians 4:8 NIV
As I prepare my family for the weekend of NO TV and MORE NATURAL LIVING (Outdoors and just family time with 110% focus on out relationship with each other and Christ) I start to think, how do you keep toddlers entertained for that long. Is that sad or what? Then I start thinking, what if we do NO TV from wake up - bed time (meaning parents get to watch TV LOL) ALL SUMMER LONG! Its a thought... I don't know if hubby will be too happy on his days off LOL. But think of HOW much you can get done with out distraction of TV... but anyways, I hope you do chose to join us in our NO TV weekend, I will say a prayer of staying strong and staying focused you your relationship with Christ, family and friends! It is worth every min... I strongly urge you to unplug and dive in!!!
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. ~Philippians 4:13
We did this just this week...all week. It's been great! Better behavior all around from the kids, more 1-1 time with each other. It gave me a fresh perspective and reminded me to use the TV more cautiously. I even saw a renewed interest in pretend play with my oldest. It was refreshing!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I am hoping for that too! Since we decreased I've seen my son be a little more calmer, and more focused. So I think we are going to start Monday with no TV at all, all summer long. Try on my husbands days off. Seems to help him and me out lol
