Great News!
As you all know, we are doing our part to help curb the spread of the Covid 19 virus. By offering telephone consults.

Starting today, we will have people manning the phones in both of our offices. Our personnel will perform triage, and refer sick children to our pediatricians who will be able to practice TELEMEDICINE right on your cell phone. When you call our offices, please provide a working Cellphone number for a phone with camera.

We hope that everyone working together will eventually get over this. In the meantime, follow the Social Distancing rules and Stay Home.
Thank you.

Kids who stare at screens have psych problems

What do you do to reduce screen time?

http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2010/10/screen-time-not-sitting-associated-with-psychological-problems.ars

Is it a problem that kids sit in front of a TV or computer screen, or simply that they're sitting still at all? A new study argues strongly that the screen's the issue, since time spent sedentary actually correlated with fewer behavioral issues.
