No glasses
They just won't wear them. Emma does for about 20 min at a time. Then she throws them and I realize it in order to spend the next 20 minutes finding them. Micah's works on a similar schedule except his is about 20 SECONDS on and he's much better at throwing them further, so more like 2 hours before I find them. I need to spend a good 5 days straight just putting their glasses BACK ON THEM but I haven't gotten up the gumption to do that yet to get them used to them. Slacker Mommy, I hear ya!

Well like I said, Mercede is now 18 and still won't wear hers. She makes sure she hides them under something on the floor so they get stepped on right away.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, do that curve around the ears?
ReplyDeleteHere's what I did, though I admit that Braska did pretty well from the beginning: When she had trouble and some phases of throwing them more than usual, I had a friend that came to play with her or just hang out with us. Their primary job in those times was to be on glasses watch. And it was really successful. The consistency of putting them back on, a little reprimand when it was appropriate, and doing it over and over. If we kept her busy reading a book or playing with something specifically using her hands, she did better for longer periods.
ReplyDeleteGranted, I was dealing with ONE child, not 4, 2 in glasses, so please don't think I'm thinking I'm solving your problem! But it was pretty helpful, and if you've got any little young (possibly homeschooled, if during the day is helpful) friends from church, or the neighborhood, they're good options. :o)
That is a tough one. My older two wore glasses starting at 2 years until they turned 6. I understand your frustration. :) You aren't a slacker Mama!
