Back-to-school routines can get hectic, but the little things make a big difference to your child’s growing spine and overall health. 🎒
Pack school bags smartly by placing heavier items closest to the spine, zipping up all compartments, avoiding over-packing, and always using both padded shoulder straps for even weight distribution.
Fuel their school day with a balanced, nutritious lunch full of fruits, vegetables and filling snacks to support energy, focus and healthy development. 🍏🥕🍞
With children spending so much time at desks, good posture is essential. Encourage relaxed shoulders, sitting upright and keeping both feet flat on the floor — a habit that can even be practised at the dinner table. If your child is slouching or complaining of back discomfort after school, it may be time for extra support.
