My daughter (turned two in December) has started crossing her eyes sometimes. It's not like a lazy eye that just drifts off in different directions. It happens when she gets really excited about something or when she's laughing really hard. Like last night in the bath, she started squealing and laughing at something she did and her eyes went crossed for a second and then came apart. She did it this morning in the car, too, while she was laughing and singing and bopping her head around. Although she's pretty advanced for her age (she has the vocab of a 4 yo and can count to 11 by herself and can identify almost every color, the only one she ever gets confused on is brown and has physical abilities that match kids older than her), I have a hard time thinking she is doing it on purpose. Has anyone else seen this in their own children? I'm wondering if there is something I should have a doctor look at.

Also, please tell me if you think she could be doing it on purpose. I couldn't cross my eyes on purpose until I was a lot older, but maybe some kids can.

My daughter is two and a part and a pair months in the past we introduced her to an opthamologist for the equal factor. Apparently she is some distance sighted, we could have in no way identified, it appeared she had exceptional imaginative and prescient, however she used to be making an attempt not to use that eye and consciousness simplest out of the well one inflicting the only eye to stray. They gave her glasses (she appears particularly adorable) but when the glasses are not correcting the attention, they subsequent step is to place a patch over the well one and drive her to support the muscle mass within the dangerous one and use it, and if that does not paintings they will need to do surgical procedure. Obviously there are a couple of motives that your cousin might be doing it and you will not recognize til his moms and dads take him to an opthamologist. Good good fortune regardless that! =)

Something I have seen being done is putting a band-aid over one eye one day, and another over the other eye the next. The child will only be able to see with one eye, and have no purpose to cross them unless she is doing it on purpose.

definitely call your doctor. Not to scare you, but at its worst this could be neurological and at its best, a simlpe vision issue. The earlier you know the source, the better you can treat, even if it is just to have her wear glasses for a while just so she corrects it and doesn't stay like that.
