The Importance of Posture and Activity: "Watch Your Back"

In today's digital age, kids spend a significant amount of time in front of screens. With boys averaging 41 hours and girls 31 hours weekly, it's crucial to consider how we sit and what we carry. Most children prefer sitting on sofas (55%) or lying down (26%), which may negatively impact their backs. Additionally, the types of bags they use and the items they carry can contribute to discomfort. This guide emphasizes the importance of proper posture, comfortable seating, and encouraging movement to support children's spinal health.
