Just woke up and watched these stories back. I don’t believe her when she says anything.
My first thought was they get the eye test when they start school.
My second was he said sore eyes. WE JUST WENT THROUGH THIS WITH OUR 4 YEAR OLD TODDLER. I needed to consider hay fever or some foreign object in his eye. We examined his eye ourselves - which he hated but bribed him with a chocolate to lie still whilst we had the best look we could for anything obvious that might be in there. Couldn’t see anything. Rinsed his eyes - which again he hated. Another chocolate.
Booked GP appointment. GP saw him the next day. I said he doesn’t like people close to his face. He hates anyone breathing in his face or whispering in his ear. I wouldn’t say he was ND he just doesn’t like that.
GP was a pro. My son was crying. Not being very cooperative. Key for the parent to stay calm, keep reassuring him but at the same time firmly tell him we need to make his eye better.
It turned out he had a stye forming. It was all good. We let it heal by itself.
The GP was brilliant the whole time though.
I would imagine her and Inch were both squeezed into a small room and that Ronnie found it overwhelming. I imagine a bit like my son he was crying and fighting the person away. Why not take a breather? Get him calm. Bring him back for another attempt? Surely most opticians are used to this? Or if she knows Ronnie doesn’t like things being up close (someone else said he’s fine at the barbers - very true! My 4 year old can tolerate the barbers until they touch his ears and will accept the shaver but not the hair dryer because it blows into his eyes and ears). I don’t want she’s looking for here. It’s not helping anyone to post stories like this. It’s pure woe is me. It’s a cleaning page. At best a home page. Either do a proper story on supporting ND children through trips to the opticians or don’t mention it at all. She’s pissed me off so much that I’ve stopped using paragraphs.
