🎒 Chuck the Junk! Protect Your Child’s Spine 🎒
A heavy, overstuffed school bag can place unnecessary strain on your child’s growing spine, leading to pain, poor posture, and long-term dysfunction. Simple habits can make a big difference:
✔️ A school bag should never exceed 15% of your child’s body weight
✔️ Do a weekly clean-out — keep only the essentials
✔️ Choose a bag with multiple compartments to distribute weight evenly
✔️ Pack only what’s needed for the day
✔️ Place the heaviest items closest to the body
Small changes now help prevent bigger problems later. Remember — bend the tree while it is still young.
