（Part 1）Too Much TV! – Gladys Moreta Publisher- Little Birdie Books
看太多電視啦！
雷奇和艾華看太多電視了，常常為了看自己喜歡的節目吵架、搶搖控器！
有一天，媽媽實在看不下去了，跟爸爸討論該怎麼辦。他們把搖控器沒收了！
雷奇和艾華覺得好無聊哦！媽媽要他們自己想想要做什麼。雷奇想做三明治去野餐，艾華想到之前跟奶奶一起做可樂噴泉，他問雷奇要不要一起再試一次！於是，他們列出需要的材料，由爸爸負責買材料，在爸爸出門的時候，他們還讀了很多書呢！原來，比起看電視，還有更多好玩友趣的事情可以做呢！

問問孩子下面的問題。
為什麼雷奇和艾華的爸爸媽媽認為他們看太多電視了呢？
當雷奇和艾華的媽媽說：你們不准再看電視了，雷奇和艾華有什麼反應？他們後來做了什麼事情？
問問寶貝是否覺得自己看太多電視了呢？除了看電視之外，請寶貝說出自己喜歡做的事情。爸爸媽媽可以跟孩子們坐下來想一想，跟雷奇和艾華一起列出一張清單：除了看電視，還能做些什麼親子共玩的互動遊戲呢？
孩子們的童年很寶貴的，他們可能一轉眼就長大了，不再需要爸爸媽媽的陪伴嘍！把手機放一旁，好好地陪伴他們吧！

“But what else can we do?” asked Ricky.
“Think about it. Use your imagination,” says Mom sternly.
“This is boring,” says Ava.
“What can we do now?”
“I’m hungry,” states Ricky. 
“Let’s make sandwiches and have a picnic.”
“Remember when we made a Mentos Diet Coke Fountain with Grandma?” asks Ava.
“Yeah!” says Ricky.
“Mom, can we make a Mentos Diet Coke fountain?”
“Sure Ava, get the recipe box,” Mom says.
Mom suggests that I look for the directions under the letter M.
“We need more Diet Coke and some mint Mentos,” says Ava.
“Dad,” says Ricky. 
“We need some ingredients for our Mentos fountain.”
“What do you need?” says Dad. “I’ll go to the store.”
“Let’s read some books until Dad gets back, suggests Mom.
“Dad is home. Let’s make the fountain!” yells Ava.
“Wow! This is way better than watching too much TV,” Ricky says.
