What Screen Free Week Looked Like for Our Family
Gabb Wireless | 10 May 2022
By Andrea Davis
Screen-Free Week is the first week of May, which means our kids are always still in school, and as the parents of five, we’re usually deep in the throes of calendaring end-of-the-year activities.
During Screen-Free Week last week we had the SAT test, Prom, dance rehearsals (x3 girls), voice lessons, parkour, an orthodontist appointment, and piano lessons on top of our full time work schedules.
In other words, we understand how out of reach screen-free week might seem for busy families!
