[blparent] light dependent children

[Kate McEachern]

I heard once that it is possible to damage eyes if not given the right 
amount of light. I know in our house we have dim lighting because we all 
have eye colors that make us all sensitive to bright light. But for my 
children I do make a point of having task light in the kitchen and lamps 
they can turn on for looking at books and games. My youngest is learning to 
turn on a task light when she wants to read and this has worked well for our 
family. We also have day light through the windows in the daytime and turn 
on the lights in the house about six when it is getting dark just out of 
habbit.

Hope this helps.

Kate
