What are the dangers of incorrect sitting posture for children?

The sitting posture of children is very critical during their growth process. Many children's normal bone development and normal height growth are affected due to long-term bad sitting posture. Incorrect sitting posture of children is also very harmful to children, which can easily lead to myopia, scoliosis, hunchback and other hazards. It can also easily affect normal growth and development. Sitting posture should be corrected in time.

What are the dangers of incorrect sitting posture for children?

Bad sitting posture can lead to many hazards such as myopia and scoliosis.

1. Incorrect sitting posture type.

1. Crossed legs. The students' feet are not placed flat on the ground, but are spread apart; some put their right foot on their left foot, some put their left foot on their right leg, or cross them at the ankles; some students even cross their legs. If this goes on for a long time, the development of the child's leg bones and muscles will be affected.

2. Scoliosis type. Some students do not sit properly, either leaning to the left or to the right; some hunch over, looking like a hunchbacked old man. This is because the students hold the pen too close to the tip. If you hold the pen too close to the tip, your eyes often cannot see the movement of the pen tip when you sit upright. However, in order to write upright and well, you have to find a way to see the movement of the pen tip, and this naturally requires you to tilt your head to the left. This will not only easily cause fatigue and affect learning results, but also affect the normal development of the spine and cervical spine. At the same time, it is also very easy to cause myopia and strabismus.

3. Chest-fitting type. My chest was pressed against the edge of the desk, not even a fist away. After a long time, you will feel discomfort in your chest, and if you get too close, naturally, the distance between your eyes and the paper will shrink, and slowly, your eyes will become myopic and your spine will bend.

4. The type of person who lowers his head and lies on the table. Some children cannot get up and often lie hunched over their desks with their eyes less than half an inch away from the paper, and some are even only four fingers away. Others tilted their heads to the left, with their heads flattened, almost touching the table. Obviously, this is not only not conducive to the normal development of the spine, but also causes great damage to the eyes: causing vision loss, gradually becoming myopia, or suffering from other eye diseases.

5. Right hand sliding down. When writing, many students do not move the notebook forward as the space on the paper becomes smaller and smaller. Instead, they keep the notebook still and move the hand holding the pen towards their arms. So after writing to the bottom of a piece of paper, only a fist was left on the edge of the desk. The direct consequence of this is that it is inconvenient to write and you cannot write straight. Over time, this will cause abnormal development of the bones in the wrist.

2. Hazards Caused

1. Learning

One is that I can’t write well. Incorrect pen-holding posture will almost inevitably result in written words - crooked fonts, distorted shapes, scattered structures, weak strokes, etc.

Second, the writing speed is slow. In contrast, correct handwriting can increase writing speed by more than 30% - this is a "scary" number. The horror is not that you write fast, but that if you don't grasp the material correctly, you will waste precious time of the children!

Third, it affects academic performance, especially composition. There is an old saying that "the handwriting reflects the character of the writer". In fact, when teachers read essays, the first thing they look at is how well the handwriting is, and this often determines the final score of the essay. If the composition cannot get a high score, the child’s Chinese performance will not be good. If this continues for a long time, it will dampen children's enthusiasm and interest in learning Chinese. If the language is not good, reading will be boring. If the child is not good at or does not like reading, his humanistic vision, comprehension ability and even overall quality will inevitably be affected.

2. Physical aspects

One is myopia.

Myopia is a symptom in which the eyes cannot see distant objects clearly but can see close objects clearly. Under the premise of refractive stillness, distant objects cannot converge on the retina, but form a focus in front of the retina, causing visual distortion and making distant objects blurry.

harm

1. Poor vision, frequent dry and tired eyes, affecting the quality of study, work and life. Wearing glasses for a long time causes inconvenience in life and work.

2. Moderate to severe myopia can cause bulging eyeballs and loose eyelids, affecting appearance.

3. There are restrictions on further studies, joining the army, taking civil service exams and finding jobs.

4. When you get old, you have to wear two pairs of glasses because of presbyopia.

5. The incidence of cataracts and glaucoma in myopic patients is significantly higher than that in normal people.

6. Inherited to the next generation, myopia is highly heritable, especially moderate myopia, with an inheritance rate of over 80%.
