Goodness, right or wrong, technology is making it so easy for us to communicate. I hope we remember to have some good old fashioned down time and power down technology daily. In fact give yourself a challenge to survive "Screen-Free Week" April 30th-May 6th. Considering Canadian kids spend an average of 6 hrs a day in front of screens, I think some Parkview students will struggle that week! For more information & the screen time debate read the April, 2012 Owl issue. Andrew Sykes, Revelstoke school district psychologist, is interviewed!
Also, Let's set you up with a pile of reading options for Screen-Free week ... and every day!
Did you know "On average, Canadian kids spend 8.6 hours a day being inactive"? (Owl: 10).
