This week, the Farmington Hills/Farmington Commission on Children, Youth and Families urges everyone to "turn off screens and turn on life". Screen Free Week (formerly "TV-Turnoff Week") isn't just about walking away from television, computer and game screens, it's about having a greater awareness of the way those screens affect our lives.
