- Make changes in your child’s environment to provide adequate lighting, which will help reduce screen brightness.
- Avoid staring at a screen for long periods of time. Rest the eyes by looking far into the distance or take some time looking around at the garden to reduce eye fatigue.
- Get regular eye checkups, at least once a year.
One of the most important factors and the best way for a child to learn is through motivation and teachings from parents. You can involve them in active or better yet, outdoor activities to help them embrace and enjoy the experiences so they choose them over the screens. You could, for instance, paint or do some art and crafts, play sports or water the plants together, take your child out for walks, go to the park, or take a trip to the museum.
