Toys: ready, set, go!(best gifts)
If weaning your kids from the screen is a priority for the new year, you're in good company. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is so concerned that the nation's kids are becoming less fit in front of TV and computer screens that it is promoting a media and event campaign to encourage active play.
Called "VERB. It's what you do," the campaign is aimed at "tweens" ages 9 to 13.
