One thing I learned as a parent of a color deficient child is you need a lot of patience. One extremely important thing is to teach them that grass is always green, the sun is yellow and chocolate is brown.

As a child starts to dress himself this can be quite challenging for them. In order to make it easy, I only buy navy blue, yellow and sometimes red shirts. Pants are either black or denim this way he will always match.

Reading a book is also frustrating for my son as he does not see things being described in the book. I always skim the pages of the books before I buy them to find the best ones he will enjoy and be able to understand. The best way to deal with the color deficient issues your child has is to accept them and help them throughout their learning experiences. This way they will remember as they grow older how to deal with certain instances they come across that might be more challenging for them.

In order to help your child learn colors is not easy. Teaching them how to dress at this young age will be easy for them as they get older. My job as a parent is very rewarding and now I feel even more fulfilled knowing that I am here to help my son with his deficiency. I remember as a child my parents would say think before you speak. Now I do that before I say to my son isn’t that a colorful picture. I will say “hey Daniel what colors do you see”?
