Tips from Nicholas' mum to help engagement with AmblyoPlay

We limit screen time, so having to play games for 2x15min a day is considered a privilege to Nicholas. Once he started a week of seeing the "green squares" all in a row, on the parent Dashboard screen, he intrinsically wanted to continue the streak for at least the rest of the month.

The first session is usually completed in the morning, after breakfast. The second session in the afternoon after school and after having a decent snack. We always make sure Nicholas has had something to eat, before he does AmblyoPlay. If he's hungry, he won't do well. We don't leave AmblyoPlay to late evening, because Nicholas is often too tired and winding down after a long day, so he doesn't perform well with the AmblyoPlay tasks. We also realised that screen-time before bed, doesn't work well for Nicholas.

We expected (and received) a lot of push-back from Nicholas, it certainly wasn't all smooth sailing. However, persistence and consistency is the key! We don't give up, even when it's hard/tricky, it's an opportunity to learn more - we want to adopt a growth mindset!
