Do you let your DC "read" (aka look at books)
in their bed at night or naps when the room is dark/dim. My DD and DS are obsessed with looking at books at night and in the morning. It really is the only way to get some extra shut eye. They have one of those FP Aquarim things that light up and play music, but it's not a good light. Do you think it's bad for them (their eyes) to allow them to do this?

Re: Do you let your DC "read" (aka look at books)
Actually its funny you said this. My DD loves to do this at night. She uses a tinkerbell lantern and "reads" books in her bed. She can't really read yet so I don't think its going to hurt her eyes. Most of the time she reads to herself for 10-15 min. and goes to sleep. Whatever works!

Re: Do you let your DC "read" (aka look at books)
I read DD a story everynight before bed. When I'm done, I ask her if she wants to keep the book (she always says yes). She will very rarely play with it at night...and goes right to sleep. But, in the morning when she wakes up, I hear her reading the book to herself through the monitor...it's so cute

Although reading in dim light is unwise because it may cause your eyes to feel tired or uncomfortable, it can't hurt your eyes. There really is very little you can do that will permanently damage your eyes. Similarly, reading small print or reading extensively cannot cause damage to the eyes. This is true even for people who already have poor vision. Although using computers will not damage your eyes, fatigue, eye strain or dry eye may occur with prolonged use. The eyes are meant to be used!

I do but their light is dimmed. I worry about them straining their eyes.
