"Turn off the TV and go outside!"

That's what parents say to their kids but now parents are getting the backing of TV! I had to finish our week by blogging about this article because it is a wonderful move by Nickelodeon and we should let them know what a great move it is! As we have posted our thoughts about reading, Nickelodeon will add to our cause by being off the air for a short time next Wednesday!
"The turn-off is planned for Oct. 2 at noon ET, when Nickelodeon typically has about 1.5 million viewers ages 6 to 11. During those hours, Nick will show a graphic saying it’s time to go outside."
Isn't that fantastic! That is right up there with reading...going outside and playing! So grab a kid, a book and plan a picnic next week to support Nickelodeon's ban on TV! To read the full article, click on the link below.
