A. If your 2-year-old is blinking rapidly while watching TV, it may be due to eye strain, dry eyes, or sensitivity to screen time. Toddlers' eyes can get tired or dry when focusing on screens, especially for long periods. Rapid blinking can also be a temporary habit or tic, which often resolves on its own. Here’s what you can do: Limit screen time to a maximum of 30–60 minutes a day for toddlers. Ensure proper lighting in the room while watching TV to reduce strain. Encourage frequent breaks from screens and more outdoor play. Watch if blinking occurs only during screen time or at other times too. If the blinking continues even when not watching TV, or if you notice other symptoms like eye redness, rubbing, or squinting, it's best to consult a pediatric ophthalmologist.
