Eye squinting

2023-10-23 04:53:06
My 4 year old daughter has been squinting her eyes in between recently. Initially, when I asked why she was doing, she told me it was fun...this morning, she repeated, and when I asked, she told me it was happening on its own... I am not sure whether she is purposely doing it or not Is this something to be worried about?
