Center for SCREEN-TIME Awareness provides information so people can live healthier lives in functional families in vibrant communities by taking control of the electronic media in their lives, not allowing it to control them.

Advocacy Campaign: When you go to the airport do you find it stressful?  After going through security you arrive at the gate, only to find that the flight is delayed.  You finally find a seat and what do you find?  You find CNN overhead, telling you all the things you don't want to hear before getting on a plane, and providing information your children should not be exposed to.  PLEASE go to our Programs section above and click on Screens A-Z for sample letters asking airports and CNN parent company, Time Warner, to be a bit more understanding.  Let us know when you send your letters so we can help let our legislators know.

Center for SCREEN-TIME Awareness launches A Lifestyle for the 21st Century, a campaign to reduce screen-time and encourage real experiences with real people in real time.

Let the GAMES begin.  Two new contests are ready to go for this year's Turnoff Week.  One is based on the book "Something Shiny Something Round" and the other is a national scavenger hunt, with help from the book, "The Color Pets."  All the information is here on the website!

Introduction of Take Back Our World, for Middle and High School Students, their teachers and their families.

FAMILY DINNER NIGHTS: Have you picked your night?  Each one of us is picking a night, that cannot change.  Pick yours and after dinner, pull out a board game, a deck of cards or something else to do and make a night of it.

VISIT OUR BLOG: Tell your stories, comment on ours and via "Contact us" send us pictures of what you do while living a life with a little less screen-time and a lot more ACTION!
