Glasses not only correct vision imperfections, but are also a fashionable accessory. But children often don't understand the importance of glasses. Some parents let the child choose what is best for him - comfort or eye health, and some try to force him to wear glasses.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, it is not worth making you wear glasses - it will not bring any benefit, it can only cause a child's protest and a desire to do it against the will of the parents. But convincing a toddler or teenager to wear glasses at school is quite possible. At first, try to calmly talk to him, tell him how important it is to take care of your eyes, especially at a time when the body is actively growing. After all, if you do not wear glasses now, next year your vision may fall even more. It is necessary to tell the child what stress the eyes are experiencing when vision falls, and how harmful it is to health.
Step 2
Most likely, after such an explanation, the child will understand well how important it is to have good eyesight and that simply ignoring the problem cannot be corrected. But he can still be intimidated by bullying classmates. After all, there is a big difference whether a child with poor eyesight from the 1st grade in glasses or suddenly puts them on in middle or high school, because this is what the doctor ordered him to do. An unexpected appearance with glasses can cause ridicule in the class, then you cannot get rid of offensive nicknames. After this, most children refuse to wear glasses at school, prefer not to see anything from the blackboard and learn worse than facing bullying every day.
Step 3
It is good if in this case the child is not the only one in the class who wears glasses. You can ask the teacher or class teacher to tell the children why glasses are needed and that it is unacceptable to poison someone just because of poor eyesight. It is very good for convincing the child and his self-confidence when friends in the class tell him how the glasses work for the child. The friends themselves may not realize what to say this, but it is quite possible for parents to contact these children directly and ask them to support their son or daughter. Indeed, for children, the opinion of friends is sometimes more important than the opinion of their parents.
Step 4
If the child has some idols who also wear glasses, it is worth showing the child their photos. The choice of an expensive and really stylish frame for a child will help very well. Take him to good optics and let him choose the frame that he likes best. When the glasses turn into a stylish accessory and emphasize the beauty of the child, it will be easier for him to agree with the requirements of parents and a doctor.
Step 5
If the child is old enough, you can allow him to wear lenses, but before that, you should still consult with your doctor. And then you will have to monitor the child so that he puts on and takes off the lenses correctly, changes them on time and does not wear them for too long during the day.
