Do you find something weird in this picture? No..are you sure. Didn't you notice heavy bags on small shoulders. Actually its obvious scene for us, so we didn't bother about it. In fact most of parents know that its a threat for health of their kid, but helpless because its all about education and school discipline. Recently Mr. Vinod Tawde (Education Minister in Maharastra) has said that education department has started the process for reducing the weight of giant bags. Kids are almost left with no option than to carry heavy school bags to schools.It has been observed by pediatricians that such a thing automatically leads to strained backs and necks in growing children.
The reason of this heavy begs are not always books only, sometimes it sports gear, tuition books and water bottles.Here are few suggestions to reduce the weight of school begs.
- Schools can provide lockers to students so they could put few things in school itself.
- Ask your kid to pack only required books not all syllabus books.
- Pack the heaviest item on bottom and lightest item on the top.
- clean your bag out weekly.
Hope this will be helpful. Try to make your kid organised so his shoulders can carry only required weight.
