As children return to school virtually it is important to watch their posture and help them with the overwhelming amount of screen time that has been added to their life.

Desk Ergonomics:
Chair should be at a height that feet can touch the ground, if feet cannot reach then a stool should be placed under the feet. There should be room under the desk for knee, feet and thighs. Computer screen should be arm length away and the address bar on the internet should be at eye height.

Some add ons that may be helpful for your child: Blue light blocking glasses for eye strain. A wobble disk to sit on, sit to stand desk, or fidget band on chair legs can help for children who have trouble focusing.

Outside time is so important after time spent on the computer, be sure your child is getting plenty of free play after structured learning time.
