Tips on getting my 2 year old to wear his glasses????

Try having yourself and others around him tell him how great he looks and how much he looks like a big kid in his glasses. Make him feel good about having them, like they are a cool thing to wear. At his age it may help, with older kids it probably won't. Also try like having a sticker chart/calender where if he goes a whole (or half) day wearing his glasses he gets a sticker to put on his chart/calender, and once he gets a certain number of stickers he gets special prize. It may help to start with shorter time periods and increase them as he learns that their are rewards for wearing his glasses. Good luck

Start a reward chart for keeping them on---you do need to force it. HE WILL GO BLIND WITHOUT THEM. That, right there, should be enough to snap you into action. Like any new thing, it's going to take some adjusting from both of you. If a reward chart doesn't work (think, he gets a sticker and at the end of the day gets some special treat if he's kept them on), then you should ask the pediatrician and/or eye doctor for tips. You'll have to keep putting them on him. When he's ten and blind, he'll say, "Mom, why didn't you just make me wear them? Then I could see!" To avoid that discussion, just force it. Have the doctor explain it to him in kid language (yes, I know he's two, but a doctor saying it may have some pull) and you constantly reinforcing what the doctor says may be enough.

Heres what we did our daughter started wearing hers around two as well. We would take them from her. when he gets up in the morning have him put them on then within a minute say ok I need your glasses now and put them away.After a little while do the same thing and repeat as needed. By the 3rd day our daughter started crying for us not to take them she is now 5.

I know that it may sound drastic but it worked for us and its what her eye doc. told us to do. She has a lazy eye and bad sight to boot. Also, has your eye doc. prescribed an eye patch she has to wear one on her good eye to try and make the lazy one stronger it slips over her glasses. Hope this helps!

My son had to wear glasses, for a lazy eye also, and never wanted to wear them. The doctor told him if he didn't wear them, he would have to wear a patch over his eye. He thought the patch was cooler, and wore that every day after school, until bed time. Good luck!!!!!

My little boy has just started wearing glasses to and he thinks he is pretty cool because everyone makes a big deal about it I wear glasses, his grandfather does, his childcarer and her kids do make a big deal when he puts them on like saying oh thats cool make him feel good about it and also try encourage others that you spend alot of time around with your son to wear them as well maybe sunglasses. Reward him when he keeps them on and get into a routine like as soon as he gets up put them on

My girlfriends son had to wear a patch for 6 hours a day for a while - she bribed him with the Wii! It worked! Try it :+)
