How often should my child take breaks between doing near work and what can he/she do to relax the eyes?
Encourage your child to take breaks after 30 to 40 minutes of continuous near work. He/she can look at distant objects or out of a window for three to five minutes. Alternatively, encourage your child to go outdoors for activities such as ball games or simply taking a stroll in the park. These activities are beneficial to your child’s general health too.
