School is back in session. I can not believe it. Let’s make this school year, the best one yet. School can be more stressful on our children than we realize, both physically and emotionally. There is a lot of pressure on children to do well. I want to give you some tips to help your children.
-
Make sure they wear supportive shoes, (there are 3 simple tests you can do to determine if a shoe is supportive that Dr. Fowler can teach you).
-
Use a rolling backpack or a backpack that offers sturdy support such as the Airpack Backpack.
-
Check the sugar content and artificial dyes in their snacks and drinks, (both can interfere with their ability to concentrate).
-
Encourage your children to wash their hands often. This is the best way to prevent germs from spreading.
-
Tell your kids not to share combs, hats, or drinks with friends.
-
Make sure they have some time in their schedule to relax. Kids need a break too.
-
Encourage your children to use good posture when sitting at their desk. It is easy to hunch over when you are bored in class.
-
Schedule them for a tune-up with Dr. Fowler to make sure their muscles are balanced and their spine is aligned to better handle postural stress.
I hope your children have a school year filled with dear friends, knowledge, and opportunities for growth. Happy Learning!
