Every experience a preschooler has is an opportunity for growth and development. They use their vision to guide other learning experiences. From ages 2 to 5, a child will be fine-tuning the visual abilities gained during infancy and developing new ones. Stacking building blocks, rolling a ball back and forth, coloring, drawing, cutting, or assembling lock-together toys all help improve important visual skills. Preschoolers depend on their vision to learn tasks that will prepare them for school. They are developing the visually-guided eye-hand-body coordination, fine motor skills and visual perceptual abilities necessary to learn to read and write.Parents should watch for signs that may indicate a vision problem, including: Sitting close to the TV or holding a book too close Squinting Tilting their head Frequently rubbing their eyes Short attention span for the child's age Turning of an eye in or out Sensitivity to light Difficulty with eye-hand-body coordination when playing ball or bike riding Avoiding coloring activities, puzzles and other detailed activities
