No TV in the home strengthens family bonds
Families like the Ciarrones and Sluks quit television for years, trading screen time for play and togetherness. They report closer sibling relationships, more walks, and creative use of cardboard, while admitting occasional misses for sports or rented videos. Some friends and relatives question the choice, but the parents feel it works better for their children.
