Maximize Your Child's Vision

4 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOUR BABY'S EYES:

1. Place her crib in the room's center away from the wall as possible. Kids benefit from an unobstructed 360-degree view.

2. Speak to baby from both up close and far away. This forces her to look around, helping her to develop vision and a sense of place.

3. Hide things. Once baby is a few months old, partially cover her toys with a blanket. This helps her navigate the world in 3D.

4. Make a mess. Crawling under and around obstacles helps vision. For toddlers, make a gym if pillows, furniture and toys.
