As a parent this transition is already difficult, getting them back on a normal sleep schedule, preparing their backpacks, buying supplies and putting together a new wardrobe can be a lot to handle!<\/p>\n<p>Over the next couple months, thousands of parents will bring their children into the pediatricians office for their back to school physical exams. Unfortunately, many of them will be told their children need to be seen by an Ophthalmologist and may require glasses. This can can be incredibly overwhelming for a parent that already is dealing with the many stressed and headaches of back to school time.<\/p>\n<p>If you are one of those parents, I know what\u2019s going through your mind. Is my child going to be made fun of? Is this going to affect their ability to learn. How much is this going to cost me? As a fashion stylist and mom, I am here to tell you it doesn\u2019t have to be so terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>Today I am going to give you my top five tips to get your kids loving their new frames.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-oembed\"><iframe title=\"Affordable and Durable Glasses for Your Kids\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/40cFK6Ndh9M?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>1. Get Them Involved<\/h2>\n<p>When you find out your child\u2019s needs glasses the first thing you want to do is remain positive. Children read your energy. If you seem anxious they will feel negative about it as well. Get them excited to be a part of the buying process with you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Visit Zenni Optical Page (opens in new tab)\">Zenni Optical<\/a> makes it fun. They have this really awesome feature on their website that allows your kids to upload photo of themselves and virtually try on the different styles and colors. Making it an interactive experience. It\u2019s fun for them and easy for you! And saves you a trip to the store!<\/p>\n<h2>2. You\u2019ve Got Mail<\/h2>\n<p>Have the box of frames addressed directly to them. This will get them excited to check the mail every day and look forward to their new shipment of glasses. Let them know there\u2019s something special coming in the mail!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61794\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/kids-loving-their-new-frames.jpeg\" alt=\"kids loving their new frames\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"><\/p>\n<h2>3. Let Kids Be Kids<\/h2>\n<p>They are active and unpredictable. There\u2019s a lot of pressure on kids not to break their glasses. That\u2019s why I love this brand.<\/p>\n<p>Zenni eliminates the stress of high costs by offering you an affordable option for durable frames. With their flexible frames, your child doesn\u2019t have to worry about the stress of breaking their glasses and be able to focus more on the style and how they feel in them! There great price point allows you to purchase multiple pairs.<\/p>\n<p>What child wouldn\u2019t want a variety to choose from when putting together their outfits for the first week of school.<\/p>\n<h2>4. It\u2019s All About Accessorizing<\/h2>\n<p>Once the box arrives plan a fun trip to the mall to pick out a new wardrobe that coordinates with their new frames. Celebrate your child\u2019s unique personality.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/kids-in-their-new-glasses.jpeg\" alt=\"kids in their new glasses\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"><\/p>\n<p>If your child is more rock and roll or trendy, try pairing one of Zenni\u2019s bold colored frame with a funky jacket, cool graphic tee and a ripped pair of jeans. If your child has a more preppy style then you\u2019re in luck. There\u2019s nothing that polishes off a preppy look more than a classic tortoise frame. I love stepping outside the box and mixing interesting textures with cool prints! Such as a classic plaid button down underneath a great knit cardigan sweater.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Confidence is Key<\/h2>\n<p>This is a wonderful opportunity for you as a parent, to talk to your child about the importance of self confidence and embracing your differences. In a world of social media and bullying, it\u2019s important to build their character and teach them to not worry about what others think.<\/p>\n<p>A great tip is to plan a movie night before school. Do some research and a find a movie where the main character wears eyeglasses. This will remind them that some of their favorite characters wear glasses just like them and have super powers too.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this help with your journey and gets your kids excited to rock their new frames for the new school year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":61794,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,151],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","category-kids"],"acf":[],"contentshake_article_id":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61781"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96372,"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61781\/revisions\/96372"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
