children on your Christmas list,
consider giving toys and games that
contribute to the child’s vision
development says the Pennsylvania
Optometric Association (POA).
The vision skills needed during
infancy and preschool years are the
same skills a child will need to
learn to read, to participate in
sports, to learn in school, to drive a
car and to perform any tasks in life.
The POA offers gift ideas for babies
through five months of age that help
stimulate an infant’s sense of light.
Those toys suggested for older
age “groups will help develop a
| child’s general movement skills,
| including the eye-hand coordination
ticipating in sports; shape and dis-
crimination skills needed for read-
ing and visualization, and visual
memory skills needed for compre-
hension and for the ability to infer
pret concepts.
The POA recommends the follow
ing toys:
Birth to five months: crib
mobiles, sturdy, bright, large rat-
tles; large, bright balls; bright
balls; wooden blocks; toys requiring
sorting of shapes and sizes; large
puzzles; riding toys pushed with the
feet not pedaled.
Eighteen months to three years:
toys requiring hammering of pegs;
beanbag or ring-toss games; toys
requiring sorting of shapes and
sizes; large puzzles; wooden blocks,

SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS
It's true that certain symptoms, such as
headaches, neck pain, and numbness or
| tingling in the arms and legs can be a
definite sign of nerve pressure. However
pain is very often the last sign to appear
when a probiem is present and the first
sign to disappear when the problem is
corrected by your chiropractor. Unfortun-
