Teach kids proper posture

line

Proper posture is very important.  I for one was not trained to maintain proper posture so up to now, I still struggle with my own posture.  Since what’s done is done, now my aim is to make sure my son will have all the training and information he needs for him to maintain good posture as he grows old.

Hear is how I intend to teach my kid proper posture:

- Set an example, exemplify good posture

- Teach your kid how to sit properly,

- Teach your kid how to stand straight

- Teach your kid how to walk and move with confidence

- Show the difference between good and bad posture

- Compliment good posture

- Explain the muscle strain caused by good posture and how it will get better and how it will make your kid stronger with time

- Monitor progress and make your kid aware of mistakes

- Reward long term good posture

Hopefully when these steps will help you as it helped our family. Next time my son stands for a stadiometer measurement, we hope to see improvements in his good posture.  If you have anything to add or you feel I was wrong at some points, let me know through the comments.
