We would hardly be wrong if we said that every parent would like to create ideal conditions for their child, especially when it comes to his education and development.
An important “detail” of this process is the choice of a desk, because it will become the student’s main work place.
We invite you to find out what a desk for a school-age child should be like so that its “owner” can work comfortably at it.
Width
The width of a schoolchild's desk should be between 60 and 80 centimeters.
This space is sufficient to provide a distance between the computer monitor and the child's eyes, as well as to place books and notebooks. Increasing the width of the table is not advisable, as this may hinder access to the far edge.
Length
The length of the table should be from 120 to 150 centimeters.
If the table length is less than the specified range, the child will feel cramped. In the case where two children will sit at the table, its length can be increased to 180 cm.
Height
In general, this parameter depends on the child’s height and can range from 45 to 75 centimeters.
To be honest, few parents buy a low desk for their first-grader – instead, parents buy a desk “for growth”, and in addition to it – a chair with adjustable height and footrest.
Previously, we talked about what to do if your child bullies other children.
