These days we use technology almost to a fault. We communicate with one another via email, text and FaceTime, we find recipes and use them in the kitchen on our tablets and we catch news and other television shows we missed on our computers. We pass this along to our children from a very early age. My almost 2-year old knows how to swipe her way through our iPad to get to her Disney Jr. app, something my Dad can’t even do! While I know that this is her generation and it will be the “norm” I still want her to enjoy her childhood, away from technology. Whether you institute a screen-free hour, day or week, we’ve found a great list that will yank you away from those devices!
