Do you have any tricks of the trade for keeping glasses on a tactile-defensive four-year-old?
*Some kids with CdLS just will not wear glasses. About 50% have a behavior characterized by extreme aversion to facial manipulations. But here are some tips:
-
Cable wrap around temples
-
Band around the back of the head
-
Mitts on hands
-
Water wings inflated on elbows
Make sure they fit and the prescriptions are correct!
