Additional Tips

• Limit your childs screen time and replace it
  with gross motor play to stimulate their nervous
  system. Gross motor play activities would include
  those which involve whole body movement such as
  hopscotch, trampolines or maybe helping out with
  chores of the house.
• Follow the 20-20-20 rule Every 20 minutes, look
  at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
• Blink the eyes frequently while watching any
  screen.
