To all parents out there that allow their children to have a little screen time with Max and Ruby.

Warning!

Too much television viewing of Max and Ruby can lead to one word sentences.  Just goes to show how influential our children are with everything they hear, see and touch.  The good news is that the syndrome is reversible.  Below are the steps to the cure.  Follow very carefully.

Step one:  Turn off the TV. Stop frantically cleaning the house that really never looks clean anyway.

Step two: Sit down with your child.  Don’t answer the phone if it rings or switch over the laundry. Resist the temptation.

Step three:  Be in the now. Read a book to your child. Do a puzzle together. Draw or do some kind of project.  It can be that simple.  Quality time vs. quantity.  Listen to your children…they speak the truth.

Take time with your children because they grow up so fast.  Be aware of the Max Syndrome it can sneak up on you.
