A healthy, functioning spine not only improves our physical well-being but also enhances our ability to focus and learn effectively, reducing stress hormones and activating the frontal lobe of the brain, where learning happens. Join us in prioritizing the well-being of our students and setting them up for success!
Carrying a heavy load that is unevenly or improperly distributed can result in poor posture and even distort your spinal column. This impact can throw your spine out of alignment, causing muscle strain, headaches, back, neck, and arm pain, and even nerve damage. More than 50 percent of young people experience at least one episode of low back pain by their teenage years. Research indicates one cause is improper use of backpacks. So, โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก ๐๐๐โ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐๐ ๐๐ก ๐๐๐โ๐กโ.

Go for lightweight vinyl or canvas materials. Pick a pack that has two wide, adjustable, padded shoulder straps along with a padded back. The pack should also have a hip or waist strap with plenty of pockets. An even better option is to get the same type of backpack but one that has wheels as well, so it can be pulled instead of having to wear it.

Make sure your childโs pack contains only what they need for that day and that the weight is evenly distributed. The total weight of the filled pack should not be more than 10 to 15 percent of your childโs body weight, or if your children are in high school, no more than 20% of the total body weight.

Put the pack on a flat surface at waist height. Have your child slip on the pack one shoulder at a time and then adjust the straps to fit comfortably.

Make sure your child uses both shoulder straps, and ensure the pack is adjusted to fit snugly to their body, without dangling to the side. You should be able to slide your hand between the backpack and your childโs back.
