Why Doesn't My Child Want to Play Sports?

It Could Be Your Eyes

"When as a parent you're going through these therapeutic experiences, you can learn a lot just about how your kid functions..we pride ourselves here at 4D, we try to explain to the parents what's happening so they learn to look at their world a little bit differently" - Jessica Liedke
Today we're talking about the importance of equipping parents with the tools needed to ensure our children's success in sports, and how building muscle tone and developing essential visual skills for athletic pursuits is crucial.
We should understand that every child develops at their own pace, and some children may face physiological challenges in certain activities. In this episode we provide examples of children struggling with biking, soccer, or swimming due to coordination issues, depth perception difficulties, or trouble processing their surroundings and how to deal with them and find proper solutions.
Our advice to parents: stay attuned to your child's personality, interests, and provide ample opportunities for them to explore their passions. The role of vision in a child's development is vital. Contact us when your child faces activity-related struggles to make sure their visual system is working properly.
