Back to school with heavy backpacks


It is September, time goes flying... We have spent lots of money sending back our kids to the school. Why so much money? You can help it but to give to those who are your own as you are remind it that you were once in their shoes.  Talking about shoes, the ones they have now they are small even though they did not wore them that much. And the notebooks have to be new, because last years style are not in anymore. I forgot about the back pack, the old one is just that old and the new one are cooler and nicer. So one more year and they keep growing and so their homeworks and the amount of books they have to carry with them to school. My daughter, has a backpack that weights about 30 to 45 pounds depending on the day. The problem with so much weight is that it is only cool to carry the back pack on one shoulder, so putting so much weight in one side of the body is not good. It pulls the spine to the side where you carry the backpack developing spinal deviations, back and neck pain. The solution is to carry some books in your arms and the rest in your backpack with both stripes in your shoulders. If the schools allows it use backpacks with wheels. If that does not solve the problem come to see me.
