Screen free bed rest ideas for 8yo boy
My 8 year old son injured his eye yesterday and has a hyphema. We were told the first 3 days of healing are critical and need to find some activities to keep him occupied without a lot of screens. Reading is discouraged because of the back and forth eye movement. He’s a big sports kid and just wants to play.
He has a Yoto player, ideas for audiobooks?
We have a couple Lego sets we will do together, again trying to limit the back and forth eye movement so I feel like I need to assist.
I could probably get him to do some coloring for a short period but he’s not much into drawing, coloring, or crafts.
I’m already stretched very thin right now and I’m drawing a blank on ideas while also worrying about this healing period, dealing with other children, and a tough pregnancy. I’m open to any advice and recommendations. Thank you!
