Schools and communities are eager to join the new Screen-Free Sleep campaign, and the toolkit provides simple ways to get started. Families can use the flash-mob video, guides, and resources to spark excitement and introduce the importance of keeping devices out of bedrooms at night. Hosting a Screenagers screening is another effective way to launch the effort and encourage action.
If you missed last week’s blog, Introducing Our Screen-Free Sleep Campaign, we hope you’ll take a moment to read it. Also, be sure to learn more about the Screen-Free Sleep campaign and pledge your support at the website!
Since then, we’ve been flooded with emails and calls, and most are asking the same question: How can we get this spreading in our school?
Today we have the answers!
