Whew! Last week we participated in the screen free challenge. Even if you didn’t, maybe you thought about how hard it would be to give up smartphones, Facebook, the buzz of the television, surfing the web, and Pinterest for a week. (And, it was!) Screens truly can take us away from relaxation, connecting with one another, and important tasks that we can “never find time to get to”. What to do? Conscious, moderate use with attention to quality seems to be the key in today’s high tech world. And, the less the better for children. None at all is ideal. Let us continue thinking about the impact of screens in our lives…remember, kids have a whole lot of fun without them each day at Farm School!
