[QUOTE="SRL, post: 134267, member: 701"] difficult child is very farsighted and started wearing glasses at age 3. Kids at this age are all over the place--some put them on their heads and never want to take them off (even for naps) because their vision is so improved. difficult child wasn't one of those kids until about 6 months later. He took them off at every turn--left them on the floor, in the garden, in the microwave, stashed in boxes, thrown down the stairs, mangled them in his hands...well you get the picture. In essence he treated them like any other toy, but you could see his struggle because he was reading already then and they helped so much. We were regulars at the opticians store which is inconviently located on the furthest side of town but the upshot of that is that going in 2-3 times a week for adjustments and replacements meant that we got to know the ladies really well and they were very good to us, both in being nice and in cutting us a deal. If they have a replacement package, I would get that [SIZE=1][COLOR=#f4a460]said the mom of the poster child for the kids replacement package who went through 7 pairs that first year[/COLOR][/SIZE]. If she turns out to be rough on them like difficult child, I'd get two pairs so you have a backup. Some adjustments can be made quickly but there were times we needed to wait for a piece or a new frame. It helped him a lot to have the continuity when one was broken or misplaced. Good luck, I felt bad for difficult child too as it seems like he was the kid in our family who had it all heaped on too. Once he was through the adjustment period he didn't even want to take them off for sleeping. [/QUOTE]
