Screen‑Free Week is May 5 – 11, 2025!

Are you up to the challenge?

Too much recreational screen time can crowd out sleep, outdoor play, and family connection—but small changes add up. 📵🌳

Here are some tips for minimizing screen-time!

Set one tech‑free hour each evening for board games, reading, or a neighbourhood walk

Keep phones away from the table during meals

Swap a streaming show for 20 minutes of unstructured outdoor play
