1. Organise school supplies smartly
Start by sorting school supplies into categories and grouping similar items. Keeping everything neat and easily accessible ensures that items aren’t digging into your child’s back during the day.
2. Distribute the weight evenly
One of the most important things to remember when packing a school bag is weight distribution. Heavier items should always be placed closest to the back, aligning with the body’s centre of gravity. This reduces pressure on the shoulders and spine to support your child’s back.
3. Use all the compartments
To make life easier for your child, use compartments to keep things organised. Placing books close to the spine creates better weight distribution, while smaller, frequently used items like snacks or stationery can go in the outer pockets.
4. Additional containers
“Investing in a quality school bag is an investment in your child’s health,” says Oster. “With the right bag and proper packing habits, school can remain a place of learning and growth; free from unnecessary back pain and posture issues.”
