Are your kids complaining about their back or neck during their online classes? Perhaps this can help.

I actually use a Tupperware container of about the same height to elevate my laptop every time I’m podcasting. Better posture, plus the higher camera position is said to be more flattering. You can judge for yourself on that last part. 😁👊

“Super helpful advice from our occupational therapy team leader at The Center for Connection. My kids, in school less than a week, are having headaches, face-aches, feeling extra tired. We're going to try this. I put my computer up at eye level when I'm recording things for vanity reasons, but my back is bothering me, so I should do this for all my email time as well.” ~ Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D.

“Posture, posture, posture! Teachers, as you spend more time on your laptops, this is so important for your long-term health! Parents, as you setup learning stations for your children, this is so important for their attention, visual skills, and long-term health!

In the picture, you can see the red arrow indicating that the student is looking down at the desk to see the laptop, resulting in the flexion of his neck. This causes strain, not only to the neck, but also to the shoulders and back. It also makes the eyes work harder. And it makes it more difficult to pay attention because the vestibular nuclei on the back of the neck are not activated to keep the brain/body alert.

Instead, elevate the laptop using books or a box to eye level. This brings the neck back into a more neutral position making it easier to learn and better on long-term health! (You'll have to imagine the student looking straight forward. Excuse my remedial image-creating skills).

As you can see, the student has his feet planted firmly on the floor as well. This also positively influences posture. If you don't have a chair that allows for this, place books or a box under the feet to allow for them to be planted.” ~ Chaves, Pediatric Occupational Therapist
