This is a vital episode for all parents. Listen and learn how to get all the education, resources and support you can for your child’s vision thanks to The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. CNIB’s VP Suzanne Decary-van den Broek and CNIB’s Family Guide, Sharon Kanhai-Johnston share some interesting research facts with me. Did you know most parents are unwittingly putting their children at risk for health and educational setbacks because they don’t understand the schedule and importance of eye exams for their children? I messed it up with my second child and I don’t want anyone else to make my mistake. 

Book an eye exam for your child. If you’re in Canada, you can find your local optometrist here.
