Has anyone else had experience with a child on a media fast?
Dear Mark,

May God be with you!

We do something like that - No TV or Computer during the school week. Their attention really goes up and so do the level of conversations. However, it is not a "fast" in the sense you give up something for the greater Glory of God.

I may introduce that idea into our school week schedule. I like anything that keeps the girls thinking about Jesus and being like Him.

Great idea! Thanks!

God bless you!
