Journal Entry Proper Backpack Use for School Children

It's that time of year when that "back to school" feel is in the air. Lots of planning, new clothes, new school books and all sorts of school supplies (do they still make Peachies?). One thing I have noticed is that the backpacks seem to be larger and stuffed with more books than ever. It got me thinking about what effect that might have on the back health of school children. Fortunately my chiropractor (it takes a village to keep me together) supplied me with a great article that you may find helpful in guiding your children to proper backpack use and it may make you want to consider purchasing a roller type bag.
