I loved this little cell phone sleeping bag.
Have
you read BLACKOUT by John Rocco. It’s a delightful tale about what
happens when a family in a big city loses power. I won’t tell you what
happens, but I bet you can guess. I was talking to some children
recently about the “olden days” before televisions, video games, cell
phones, and computers. They were stunned and said, “What did you do?” I
smiled and replied, “You know what? We played outside and had lots of
fun!”
Several years ago a teacher told me that they asked the families at her school to record the amount of screen time their child had for a week. The next week they asked the parents to turn off all devices and spend the same amount of time interacting with their child by reading, playing games, doing chores around the house, going for walks, etc. Do you think most families could survive this? It certainly would be a meaningful challenge!
