Center City Pediatrics is taking on a big challenge this year!
In 2014 CCP families are going to work together to reduce their screen time and increase their family play time. This project is called PLAY:UNplugged.
All year long we will we partnering with local family friendly businesses, giving you ideas of places to go, things to do and events to take part in. We even fired up our Pinterest page so we can get our “craft on” when we can’t play outside. CCP is also partnering with great local resources like Hipsterhenry.com “The Parent’s Guide to Philadelphia” and other great local resources. This is a citywide project that is starting at CCP and we hope that you will not only join us but give us ideas on how your family unplugs and stays connected.

We know this is not an easy challenge. Before challenging you to “play along” with us, we examined the role media plays in our own families. Click here to learn more about media struggles in the Berger household in Dr. Berger’s “Screen Time Confessions.”
Medialess Mondays®
We believe in baby steps so we are going kick off PLAY:UNplugged with
Medialess Mondays®. The goal of Medialess Mondsay® is to set one day aside a week and get your family to “unplug” at the door when they come home. Make dinner together, play hide-and- seek, or build a Lego city.
