Going<\/span>\u00a0back to\u00a0<\/span>school<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>also<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>means<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>children<\/span> and their parents<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>spend<\/span> a lot of time writing <\/span>in notebooks, reading <\/span>school <\/span>textbooks and browse<\/span>\u00a0the internet on a <\/span>tablet<\/span>\u00a0or computer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the time you will be sitting for homework, so you\u2019re adding several hours per week in a sitting position.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What posture to adopt ?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Ideally, when seated, your neck and your upper and lower back should stay in a good alignment as much as possible.\u00a0 The same way you would when you are standing straight<\/span>. You should keep a curve forward in your lower back and your head should be above the shoulders. Favor a position in which your feet are touching the ground or supported by a footrest. Your knees should be at the same level or a little lower than the hips.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

But how do <\/span><\/b>you<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>read<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/b>write, <\/span><\/b>without<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>tilting<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>your<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>head<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

There’s the challenge.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you incline your head forward to look down at the notebook, make sure you don’t poke your chin forward and round your back. Tuck your chin in slightly and lean <\/span>forward<\/span> from the hips to keep the curve forward in your low back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With your<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>forearms<\/span> supported<\/span> on the table or the desk to write, avoid <\/span>tilting<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>your<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>head<\/span>\u00a0to the\u00a0<\/span>side. Keep your head straight<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>even<\/span>\u00a0if the notebook\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>tilted<\/span> and in line with your hand for <\/span>better<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>writing<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, it is also recommended to stand up and walk around every hour<\/em>. This will help maintain proper posture and maximize concentration!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
