🎒📚 Back-to-School Means Back to Backpack Safety! 🍎✏️
As students head back to the classroom, don't forget that a heavy backpack can lead to neck, shoulder, and back pain.
Here are a few simple backpack safety tips:
✅ Keep the backpack under 15% of your child's body weight
✅ Always wear both shoulder straps
✅ Adjust the straps so the backpack fits snugly against the back
✅ Make sure the backpack rests in the middle of the back, not hanging too low
Small changes can make a big difference in preventing aches, pains, and poor posture throughout the school year.
