 ==Measuring==
-Getting your child to look at a [[Snellen Chart]] is probably best saved for measurements only, and for younger children there are kid friendly snellen charts that will probably prove more engaging. It is a good idea to have several charts, it is easy to memorize a frequently used chart so rotate often for more accurate testing. You will of course want to do centimeter [[measurement]]s as well.  Try to keep measuring light and fun, causing yourself or your child stress with measuring is not going to be beneficial for anyone.

Jake does recommend hanging a snellen chart in the home; however for children it is probably a good idea to have well placed text stimulus beyond that, keeping some novelty to the snellen chart might well help your child engage more when you are doing measurements.
