How do you get your two-year-old to wear their glasses?

Here are some strategies you can try to encourage your two-year-old to wear their glasses:

1. Make the experience positive:

- Let your child pick out their own glasses if possible.

- Praise your child every time they put on their glasses.

- Make wearing glasses fun by saying things like, "Your glasses make you look like a superhero!"

2. Be patient:

- It may take time for your child to adjust to wearing glasses. Be patient and understanding, and don't give up.

3. Offer incentives:

- Offer rewards, like a sticker or a special treat, when your child wears their glasses.

4. Be consistent:

- Make sure your child wears their glasses all the time, even when they're not playing or running around.

5. Talk to your child's doctor:

- If your child is still having trouble wearing their glasses, talk to their doctor. They may have some additional suggestions or strategies that can help.

6. Role modeling:

- Encourage other family members to wear their glasses around the house. Children often mimic the behavior of adults, so if they see others wearing glasses, they may be more likely to want to wear theirs too.

7. Use distractions:

- Distraction is a great way to encourage toddlers to wear glasses. Offer them a favorite snack or toy while putting their glasses on and redirect their attention away from the glasses.

8. Practice at home:

- Before venturing outside, practice wearing glasses at home for short periods of time. Start by putting them on for a few minutes at a time and gradually increase the duration as they get more comfortable.
