Welcome to TVFreeLiving.com
Something about the zest in life is just squashed when much of your time is dedicated to watching TV. TVFreeLiving promotes a more balanced approach.
We are not the condemners of TV! We promote its use in moderation, with tact, and without letting the TV dictate your family's schedule.
So when we say TV Free, we aren't talking about throwing your TV in the trash! We're talking about an active life, free from being dominated by the TV's glow.
At TV Free Living, we seek to:
- Promote balanced television use in households
- Building family and community togetherness through "active" living
- Creating awareness of the "passive" living that a TV-based schedule creates
- Supporting individuals and families in the limited TV lifestyle
So go see our blog and if you're looking for help or encouragement, check out our resources page.
