Enjoyed your essay on Stay at Home Week! Just wanted you to know that there is now a book out about 500 TV free families from 43 states and they were not Lola Granolas or High and Holy Snots…but rather mostly Normal Joes! The book was based on a 100 question demographic survey from 1500 folks. Called Living Outside the Box: TV Free Families Share Their Secrets, EWU Press, Brock (it’s on Amazon as well). In a nutshell, 70% felt their kids got along better, 80% felt their marriages improved, and 90% when asked if they ever regretted their decision, said “NO!”It was great fun to write and I thought you might enjoy it :)
