13:18
and wearing a backpack by Jane ree Klein, August six,
13:21
twenty twenty five. As families gear up for the new
13:25
school year, Bathotells is reminding parents and students of an
13:28
often overlooked back to school essential the proper backpack selection
13:32
and use. An overloaded or poorly passed backpack can lead
13:36
to back, neck and shoulder paint and even long term
13:40
posture problems. Tips for selecting and packing a backpack fit.
13:45
Backpack should be well fitting, not too large or small
13:48
for your child features. Look for a backpack with six
13:51
strips to distribute the weightload and a chess clip keep
13:55
it light. A packed backpack should weigh no more than
13:58
ten to fifteen percent of a child's body weight.
14:01
Speaker 2: Pack smart.
14:02
Speaker 1: Place heavier items like textbooks closer to the body and
14:05
work your way out the smaller books. Use compartments to
14:09
evenly distribute weight. Use both straps. Wearing both shoulder straps
14:14
helps distribute weight evenly and prevents muscle strains. Select a
14:18
backpack with a chest clip and be sure to clip
14:21
it adjust the fit. Straps should be snug.
14:25
Speaker 2: But not tight.
14:25
Speaker 1: The backpack should sit just above the pulse pitfalls of overpacking.
14:30
Overstuffed backpacks can strain muscles and joints, read to poor
14:34
posture and increase the risk for falls and injury. Children
14:38
may also experience fatigue and discomfort that impacts their focus
14:41
and energy throughout the school day. Only the essentials encourage
14:46
students to believe unnecessary items at home or in their
14:48
classroom cubby or locker. Carrying around extra books, toys, or
14:53
unused supplies adds unwanted weight. Get in the habit of
14:57
cleaning out backpacks weekly to remove clutter and keep only
15:00
what's truly needed each day. Quote backpacks that are too
15:04
heavy or poorly worn, can really take a toll on
15:07
a child's growing.
15:08
Speaker 2: Body, said Kasey Stone, Dpt.
15:11
Speaker 1: Physical therapist at Baptist Health. Quote, simple adjustments on how
15:15
a backpack is packed and worn can make a big
15:18
difference in preventing discomfort and promoting long term must go
15:22
skeletal health and to quote, a little preparation goes a
15:26
long way in keeping students healthy, confident and ready to learn.
