So your child's eye doctor is recommending patching...naturally you're panicking. How am I going to get them to cover one eye... their stronger eye...when I can't even get them to eat their dinner most nights?? Patching can be anxiety provoking for both the child and the parent alike. For your kiddo, its something new and they don't understand it. For the parent it can be challenging to get them to do something they don't want to do, and then there's the added stress that your doctor is recommending it and you know it's important for their visual development. Cue All About My Eye Sticker! Arming your child with information will help calm down their nervous system so they can process this new routine. It will give you the language and confidence to explain to them what is going to happen and why. Ahhhh don't you feel better already?! 

Just download our customizable template, add photos from your photo album, and edit the text to include details relevant to your kiddos routine. No time to customize?? We got you! Use our story with stock photos, it's included in your download!

Pro tip when customizing: don't be too precious about it! Your kid won't care if you repeat the same photo. They just want to understand what's going on. They want to know that they're safe and secure and that you'll be there with them on this hotel adventure. Also, we know you're limited on time and trying to get in all your last minute packing, so we made adding text a no brainer! The parenthesis indicate a section where you need to add personal information, such as the name of your child. The underlined sections include information that you may want to leave, change, or delete depending on your kiddos routine. 

After you've added photos and text you're ready to share the story with your kid.  How you share it is up to you and what works best for your family. You can print and share a hard copy or leave it digital, easy peasy! Now get going we know your doctor wanted you to start patching yesterday! 

Still wondering what it should look like?? We got you! Take a look at our sample book for inspo! It's the OG story that I used with my daughter AND it's included in your download!
