Unplug it

I'm a firm believer in taking time off, spending time outside, and UNPLUGGING the dadgum TV. Children who have constant entertainment dancing in front of their eyes can't seem to find it elsewhere. Let them explore, get dirty, catch fireflies, have mud fights.
Kids wash off. Don't stress about the mess.
Unplug, and let them use their little minds to really see the world around them! :D
