Posture

Treatment of incorrect posture depends on the cause. Correct or incorrect posture depends on many factors. One of them, perhaps the most important one, is the condition of the skeleton at the time of the birth of the child. A child can have from birth a sloping shoulders, like his father. Some babies are born with weak muscles and tendons. They have crooked legs, no matter how much vitamin D they are given. Another child and on rest and in the movement seems tense. He finds it difficult to relax. There are diseases that affect the posture, such as rickets, children's paralysis or tuberculosis of bones. Any chronic illness or chronic fatigue caused by various causes can lead to stoop. Excess weight causes flat feet and curving legs. The unusually large growth causes the teenager to stoop and tilt his head forward. A child with a poor posture should always come to the doctor to see if he is not sick.

Many children stoop because of lack of self-confidence. The reason may be constant quibbles at home, or failure at school, or unsatisfactory communication with peers. A cheerful and confident person manifests this in how he sits, stands and walks. When parents understand how closely the posture is related to the emotional state of the child, they are more attentive to it.

The natural impulse of a parent who wants his child to look good, constantly correct: "Lift your shoulders", "For God's sake, straighten up."But a child who stoops because his parents constantly scold him, from such amendments will not get a better posture. Generally speaking, the best results are when the child's posture is paid attention at school, or in a special clinic, or in the doctor's office. Here the attitude to posture is more business than at home. Parents can help the child perform the necessary exercises at home if he wants such help and if they are able to provide it tactfully and in a friendly manner. But the main task of parents is to improve the child's state of mind, help him to adapt to the school and make him feel that he is respected at home.
