Did you know that kids’ TV viewing spikes by 150% in the summer? The Smart Television Alliance is proud to announce the OutSmart the Summer Spike! campaign to raise awareness about the need for busy parents and caregivers to make smart viewing choices and to use technology to control what their children watch.
The STA is known for showing parents how to find the best stuff on TV, so our website is the perfect place to go to OutSmart the Summer Spike…after all, if you’re in control of what’s on the screen, you can actually bring educational time to a long summer outside of the classroom. That’s why organizations like the National Education Association, National Council of Women’s Organizations, National PTA, KIDSFIRST!, among many others are members.
There are a lot of great ways for you to participate. A good way to start is by signing a petition to TV producers demanding more educational and age-appropriate programming for kids. Also, look for our Summer TV Tips blog posts to find out how you can use your kids’ favorite shows as inspiration for learning, while the show is on, and after it’s over.
Better yet, sign up for Smart News to get our tips and other great information sent right to you. That way, you won’t miss a beat!
What a way to kick off the summer!
