Popcorn is prepared in the same pot, with the same heat, in the same oil, yet the kernels do not pop at the same time. Don’t compare your child to others. Your student’s time to pop is coming!

Warning Signs of Student Vision Problems: Head Tilting
If you notice your student doing head tilting, that may be an indicator that they should have their eyes examined by a doctor. Head tilting is a sign that vision may be stronger in one eye over the other.
Warning Signs of Student Vision Problems: Toys
Pulling toys or other objects close to the face is a warning sign your child may have a vision problem.
Warning Signs of Student Vision Problems: Rubbing
Look for frequent rubbing of the eyes due to visual fatigue. Be sure not to confuse visual with general fatigue.
Warning Signs of Student Vision Problems: One Eye
Shutting or covering one eye is a vision problem sign. If you notice your student doing this, you should have a doctor examine their eyes.

Sitting too close to the television or computer is a sign of student vision problems. Also look for your child holding a tablet screen close to their face.

Squinting is a sign of a child compensating for poor vision.
Laptop on a Sofa? STOP!
Do your kids do their schoolwork on a laptop while sitting on a sofa? Unfortunately most sofas are too soft and do not give proper back support while using a laptop. The best tip Y3K Tutor In Your Home has for you is to simply avoid sitting on a couch while using a laptop. Students often get neck and back pain due to long periods of time on their laptops sitting on sofas. Although stores do sell laptop stands specifically to be used on a sofa, they are still not as good for the body as sitting properly on a chair using a desk or table.
Remote Learning: Laptop Meetings and Neck Pain
Putting a laptop on a table or desk when doing a Zoom meeting can cause a student’s neck to protrude forward and downward to see the screen. The goal is to not slouch to look at the screen. The easy solution is to put some boxes on the table or desk and then put the laptop on the boxes. Align the screen so that your child’s eyes are looking straight at the upper 1/3 of the screen.
Does your student do their laptop schoolwork while sitting on a sofa? Next time we will take a closer look at how safe that position is for the neck and back.
