Posture Matters! Don't Let Your Children Grow with Hunched Shoulders and Bad Posture – Start Improving Their Posture with These 5 Steps

Write mobile frequently, often brushing up on some of the girls to improve the posture of the girls, such as the curvature of the back and shoulder muscles, it seems that many girls are starting to pay attention to their posture.

Indeed, posture and body shape have a great influence on a person's temperament, in addition to the influence of appearance on temperament, and the influence of inner talent and knowledge on temperament, the way of walking and sitting also affects a person's temperament, such as a hunched-shouldered and stooped person, it is difficult to associate with the word 'temperament'.

Movement habits affect body shape, and it takes a long time to develop, so it is important to cultivate good habits for children from an early age, which is the key to influencing their body shape and temperament. In addition, hunchback, shoulder shrugging, and habitual head-down postures are not only unsightly on the outside, but also affect the child's bone development and may lead to problems such as cervical and spinal stenosis.

How to deal with a child's hunchback?

Many parents realize this problem and often correct their children when they are doing homework, saying 'lift your head' or saying to their children when they are sitting down 'sit straight'.

This approach often doesn't have much effect because either the child has developed a bad habit that is difficult to correct, or the child doesn't take it to heart and continues to use more 'relaxed and effortless' postures. Many children have developed a certain degree of hunchback.

The correct approach is to cultivate good sitting and walking habits for children from the beginning, and after the habits are formed, children will no longer need others to remind them.

Maintain correct posture

Children's hunchback is mainly formed when they are sitting and doing homework, so paying attention to posture is particularly important.

Let the child straighten their upper body, and allow their shoulders to naturally expand backwards. When sitting, they should maintain a straight state and not hunch their backs. Most people habitually arch their backs, which makes them feel temporarily relaxed, so we can prepare a pillow for the child to use to keep their back straight and reduce spinal pressure.

When the child reads or writes, remind the child of the teacher's classroom requirements.

In summary: head up, back straight, and feet flat. Do not let the child tilt or slant their head, keep their body upright, and their feet flat on the ground. Do not let children lie on the desk.If the desk and chair are not at the right height, it can also cause children to hunch their backs.

Try to choose appropriate scientific desks and chairs for children, and adjust the height of the desk and chair according to the child's height, so that the desk and chair height is not too high or too low.

In the school, the school desks are divided into '4-hole' and '5-hole' labels, which are used for junior high school and primary school students, respectively. According to the child's specific height, it should be chosen.

Height 120cm below: desk height below 60cm, chair height below 32cm.

Height 120-129cm: desk height 60cm, chair height 32cm.Height 130-139cm: desk height 64cm, chair height 34.5cm.

Height 140-149cm: desk height 68.5cm, chair height 37cm.

Height 150-159cm: desk height 73cm, chair height 40cm.

How to correct

If the child has already developed a hunchback and a stooped posture, how to help the child correct it?

First, make the child aware of the problem, then set a goal and task, and the child must comply with this goal for one month. Parents should supervise.

It takes 21 days to develop a habit, so we can use concentrated training to change the child's habit.

1. Stand against the wall.

Because the child habitually bends over and hunches, but doesn't know it, you can find a reference object.

The simplest way is to stand against the wall for half an hour every day, always keeping a seamless fit, and feel the sensation of straightening the waist and back.

2. Use hunchback correction equipment.

Children often hear advertising in commercials ‘Back Buddy’, using external force to correct the child's posture, and mothers can also try it.

Children carry heavy schoolbags every day, even primary school students carry heavy schoolbags, which is terrible. Approaching double digits, the heavy schoolbag brings the child a great burden, which is not conducive to spinal development. In order to be able to carry it, the child will hunch their back, which is also one of the reasons for the child's hunchback.

So when buying a schoolbag for the child, you can buy a schoolbag with a trolley, and we often see children with trolleys in life, which is not a mother's indulgence, but really necessary.

In addition, there are back-straightening sticks and yoga balls, but parents should consult the usage instructions before using them to prevent the child from pulling muscle or forming incorrect shape.

3. Let the child do some corrective exercises.

As mentioned at the beginning, many people share corrective exercises on video websites or social sharing apps, so you can fix a time every day to follow the video and let parents and children train together to increase the fun of training and let the child correct it through the heart. There are also movements that can be done anytime and anywhere, such as sitting on a chair or sofa, for example, expanding the chest, raising the head, and retracting the arms, to relieve the long-term hunchback muscle stiffness.

4. Swimming.

Some sports have the effect of improving hunchback, and swimming is a recognized one. Swimming can exercise the neck and waist muscles, especially the frog stroke, because the frog stroke has a specific breathing rhythm, so it requires higher muscle requirements for the neck and waist. In addition, swimming can relieve the burden on the spine, allowing the neck and waist to relax completely, which can alleviate the fatigue of reading.

Cultivating a sport for children is a good thing in itself, and it is a bonus for children to have fun with it. After children don't like running, they can swim regularly or play basketball, badminton, etc. There is some fun and exercise.

5. Develop good electronic product usage habits.

In addition to writing and reading, playing mobile phones is also a behavior that children relax their posture, and children spend a long time playing mobile phones, and it is difficult to straighten their back after putting down the phone.

First clarify the posture of playing mobile phones, sitting, and keeping the screen and eyes level, not lying down, and not twisting the screen on the sofa.

In the entertainment industry, many people are praised for their posture, such as Liu Shi Shi, who started ballet at a young age, no matter what, her sitting posture is straight and upright, and she is a role model for many people.

Parents should also cultivate good habits and correct them in time, which is a bonus for children to bury in children's childhood, and it will not be discovered until children grow up, and then children will thank you at that time!
