UNPLUGGED!

Interesting facts about TV

Screen can be habit-forming: the more time kids engage with screens, the harder time they have turning them off as they become older.

Over half of advertisements during kids’ TV shows are about foods, and up to 98% of these promote foods that are high in fat, sugar, and/or sodium.

Reducing screen time can help prevent childhood obesity.

Kids who spend less time watching television in early years tend to do better in school, have a healthier diet, be more physically active, and be better able to engage in schoolwork in later elementary school.

Adapted from Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood

Try some of these “unplugged” activities instead of watching TV. Take a walk Ride a bike Go on a nature hike puzzle

Go camping (even if it’s

Go to a school sporting event

Play a board game Read a book Play outside Turn on the music and dance

Life is a lot more fun when you join in!
