HEALTHY READINGS📚

✨Many students started suffering from poor posture - related issues, low vision, neck and shoulder strain that mainly appeared after spending almost one year following online learning due to COVID-19 pandemic.

✨As parents, we need to be aware of healthier ergonomics choices at home to make sure that our kids’ health is not affected

🗣Here are some tips for smoother and healthier learning

💡Make sure they follow proper sitting posture where torso and neck are vertical and in-line, thighs are horizontal and legs are vertical
💡 Allow for well supported back and legs in order to provide balance for their muscles
💡Place the monitor along their eye level at minimum distance of 30 cm
💡Allow to change posture and do some tasks while standing ( keeping in mind the horizontal posture of hands and vertical posture of back and legs)
💡Teach them the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, let them look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
💡Maintain proper ventilation and natural light as possible
💡Do some exercise while on breaks

💡Encourage your child by noticing their unique interest

💡Trying something new

💡Listen carefully to them

💡Listen not only to their words but to their behavior and even their silence

💡Always show them affection

The combination of mystery and romance in this book scaled up the events painfully beautiful!
There is a clear emphasis on the strong will Kya has and the power she develops to survive in-spite of the harsh conditions in her surroundings.
I am astonished by the images and the scenery drawn by the author about the marsh.
