1. Encourage correct sitting and standing posture: educate children to maintain correct sitting and standing posture, and keep the spine in a natural curve. Make sure their feet are flat on the ground and their shoulders are relaxed, avoiding hunchback or round shoulder posture.
2. Ensure the appropriate height of tables and chairs: provide children with a combination of tables and chairs suitable for their height, so that they can sit correctly and do homework or other learning activities. The height of tables and chairs should be adjusted so that children's elbows can bend naturally and put them on the table.
3. Limit the time of using electronic devices: Excessive use of electronic devices will make children maintain bad posture for a long time, which will burden the spine. Set a reasonable use period of electronic equipment and encourage children to participate in outdoor activities and physical exercise.
4. Promote sports and physical exercise: Encourage children to actively participate in physical exercise, which helps to strengthen back muscles and bones. You can choose suitable sports, such as swimming, yoga, gymnastics or basketball.

6. Regular physical examination: Take your child to see a doctor for physical examination regularly to ensure the normal development of your child's spine and bones. Doctors can provide personalized advice and check the child's spinal health.
7. Establish healthy living habits: Encourage children to maintain healthy living habits, such as a balanced diet, adequate sleep, reasonable burden and moderate rest.
8. Personal demonstration and guidance: As parents, we should always set an example, pay attention to our posture and spine health, and guide our children to learn the correct methods of spine protection.
