This is a topic that is confusing me on the responses I get when I ask another parents, “Don’t you worry about your child's back, with as heavy as their back packs are?”
I spoke to the school nurse about this subject since we just moved to a new school, and rolling back packs are not allowed because because kids may trip over each others back packs.
However, this maybe true I have a problem with the amount of weight that is their backpack. As I have gone to several appointments lately for a back pain in my nine year that just does not seem to be getting better.
I never noticed just how heavy they were until he kept complaining of a back ache, and of course I was concerned, but honestly I contributed it to wrestling with his brother. But after the past couple months it has not seem to be getting better.
We have had x-ray's and everything looks ok for now, so it just taking it easy. But how do you take it easy when you lift 20 lbs. on your back daily?
What are you thoughts about children and back aches. To me it’s a confusing topic and worrying about issues and my child’s health.
