The incorrect position that children often adopt at their desks impairs blood circulation and increases the risk of developing spinal diseases, as well as delaying the development of the chest.
Therefore, long before the baby begins to write, he should be taught to sit at the table.
Later, he will become too carried away by the new activity and simply will not be able to keep his body under control.
How to teach a child to sit at the table
Every time you see your son or daughter sit down at the table to eat dinner, draw a picture, read a book, or do anything else, pay attention to his or her posture.
The child should sit up straight, without resting his chest on the table.
Your shoulders should be level and your head should be tilted slightly forward.
Make sure that the distance from your eyes to the table is at least 30-35 centimeters.
Let your hands lie so that your elbows extend slightly beyond the edge of the table.
The legs should also be in a special position: both legs should be on the floor and bent at the knees at an angle of 90 degrees. It is allowed to slightly extend one of them: the left one if the child is right-handed, or the right one if he is left-handed.
