My ten years old got into soccer recently and he’s getting good at it, except, he has this paranoia that he’ll get blind (or will have severe eye damage) if he traces the ball through the air against a sunny backdrop. Because of this he won’t practice in the evening and this is when most training happens.
We had an eclipse recently and I think he took the “don’t look at the sun” mantra way too far and I don’t know how to undo that.
Please help!!!

Demonstrate what happens to a flammable object (such as a toothpick) when you briefly pass it over a candle flame, vs holding it over for a longer period of time. I would suggest the “brief time” experiment with your finger, but that may be too impressionable for a kid.
