Visual Perceptions and Toddlers

One thing I noticed about toddlers:

If you ask them to close eyes, they will first deny. And if they agree and do it, closed eyes last for few seconds. Hardly for a minute. This is despite they spent 9 months in eternal darkness.

Imagine the vacuum they feel in darkness! They do not want to compromise their growth by shunning visual perceptions. Every second is critical learning.

And we parents waste these critical visual moments by exposing them to TV, Mobile, Video games…🙁

Let there be vivid live experiences. Let there be Nature maximum and minimum virtual visuals.
