🎒✨ Parents, it’s time for a quick bag-check! 🎒✨ As the school term kicks off, there’s a key tip that many might not know. Experts recommend that your child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10% of their body weight. Overloading could lead to spinal strain and other long-term issues.
🧐 How to calculate the right weight:
1. Weigh your child.
2. Multiply their weight by 0.1.
Once you’ve figured out the safe limit, start adding essentials like a water bottle and lunchbox. Regularly check the weight to ensure it stays within the limit.
Remember, heavy bags can prompt kids to adjust their posture, increasing risks of fatigue and discomfort. So, organise the bag with heavier items at the top and ensure your child wears it on both shoulders. It might not be the trendiest, but these small changes can make a big difference to their health! 🌟
