Child Development

Many people wonder why their doctor or optometrist never informed them about natural alternatives to expensive and harmful contacts, glasses, and laser eye surgery.  It’s not a big fat greedy conspiracy between doctors, optometrist, and the optometry industry.  Most doctors and optometrist out there are good people who want nothing but the best for their patients. 

Education is a wonderful thing, but the downside of filling your head with “knowledge” is that it makes less room for being open to alternatives.  Mostly every eye doctor and optometrist truly believe that THEY KNOW BEST… and quite frankly, they have to… The grim alternative is to face a life crises, and the complete breakdown of their current life and practice.

The optometry industry is one thing… but it’s no use blaming your doctor or optometrist for being ignorant. Rather be happy you’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon this quick and reliable way to regain your natural vision abilities.

Because, it’s a sad fact that:

Research Has Proven That Wearing Glasses And Contacts Will Destroy Your Vision Over Time…

Of course, Dr. Bates realized this over 90 years ago:

If glasses are worn continuously over time the poor vision will generally become worse. Essentially what glasses do is lock the eyes into their refractive state and in order to see through your lenses you have to maintain the poor vision that the lenses are designed to correct.  (Wm H Bates: Perfect Sight Without Glasses 1920)

Here are some quotes from more recent research:

Minus lenses (glasses) are the most common approach, yet the least likely to prevent further myopic progression (nearsightedness). Unfortunately, they increase the near point stress that is associated with progression. ”  May, 1984. Optometric Extension Program Foundation

The use of compensatory lenses (glasses and contacts) to treat or neutralize the symptoms does not correct the problem. The current education and training of eye care practitioners discourages preventive and remedial treatment.  Gottlieb, 1982. Journal of Optometry and Visual Development

Here’s a simple way you can prove this for yourself:

Put on your glasses or contacts and do some close work for two hours and then check your unaided vision… You’ll see only half of what you did two hours ago.

It’s really a tragedy that children and other people showing mere signs of myopia are prescribed steel framed “remedies” that will harm them for life when a perfectly natural alternative is available.

But Wait, What About Laser Eye Surgery?”  Perhaps you’re thinking; “I’ll just look into corrective eye surgery so I don’t have to worry about my vision being affected by glasses or contacts”.  Unfortunately, surgery is both expensive and has proven itself to be a risky and troublesome alternative.  A full eye surgery procedure will cost upwards of $5000, and there is absolutely no guarantee that you will not need your glasses again within a few months of a perfectly successful operation.  In fact, there has been numerous reports of temporary improvement that relapse into even worse conditions a few months after surgery.

Scientific evidence on how young children learn and the critical importance of the first 5 years of life is compelling. Educational research clearly links quality preschool environments to positive developmental outcomes for young children. Concern about the prevalence of poor quality early care settings has led to the growing policy trend toward Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS). Twenty states operate QRIS and California is one of the 27 other states that are planning on piloting them. A goal of establishing a Quality Rating Improvement System is to ensure optimal child outcomes from early care and education experiences. Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS) are also a powerful method of reaching out to and engaging families by effectively communicating the quality standards and the levels of quality in early care and education settings.

The National Alliance for Children advocates :

There is a vision that high quality child care should not be simply a checklist of quantifiable elements, but should include the quality of interactions between caregivers and children (social-emotional development) and between caregivers and families (remaining four protective factors).

A substantial body of work documents the relationship between parent involvement in children’s schooling and children’s achievement and success . Research on student success , school readiness of diverse populations , and special needs of children with disabilities point to partnering with families as a critical component of any system intended to yield optimal outcomes for children across the developmental continuum . Much of this research has been conducted in K-12 education settings and early intervention services for children with special needs. In the last decade, attention has turned to the importance of engaging families prior to elementary school as the body of literature focused on elementary school-age children does not adequately translate to engaging families of preschool-age children.

In the past decade, research on engaging families in the early years has emerged from an interest in helping children to successfully transition from home or preschool settings into elementary school and as a result of what we now know about brain development and the critical role of primary caregivers in a child’s healthy development, and the influence that interrelated environmental factors play in a child’s development. It is the interaction between factors in the child’s immediate family, preschool, and community environments that steers the child’s development; more simply, when people in the child’s primary environments work together, as partners, it is better for the child’s developmental and learning outcomes.

The Chicago Child-Parent Centers researchers found that family engagement is an essential component of a high quality child care program and that family engagement during the early years was associated with greater family engagement in the elementary school years, which was related to positive student outcomes in elementary school.

As children’s first teachers, parents have a unique and enduring impact on children’s development, learning, and school success. All families, regardless of income or education level, or ethnic or cultural background, want to be involved in supporting children’s learning and are invested in children’s school success. Family involvement is critical both to ensure positive outcomes for children and to create high quality schools.

In the face of such consistent evidence of the importance of family involvement in children’s education, it seems incumbent upon us to establish universal access and opportunities for families to become involved in their children’s early care and education settings, to work in collaboration with schools, centers, and family child care homes, and to develop partnerships with early childhood providers so that young children receive the full benefit of early care and education, and are fully prepared for kindergarten and future school success.

The value of including Family Engagement as a component of quality in a rating system is that it makes clear to those who make decisions about and those provide care to young children that including families must be an essential part of the work they do.

Viagra is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction is known to make men have trouble getting an erection and maintaining an erection during sexual activity.
