Children’s Needs Children may need a hand or feet rest when using a computer. Children may need a pillow under the child’s bottom or lower back. A child’s eyes need to be level with the monitor. Children need to be timed while on a computer to avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Computer Vision Syndrome. A child needs to have parental supervision while on the computer.

Children’s Needs A child may need a smaller “kid sized” keyboard to avoid the bigger gaps in-between keys. Children may need a smaller computer mouse depending on the size of their hands. If you ever see your child using improper posture at the computer correct them so they will start to learn on their own.

Computer Health Tips Sit with the monitor directly in front of you, not off to the side. Keep your eyes level with the monitor or slightly above level. Sit all the way back in your chair to avoid bad posture. Keep your wrists from resting on the keyboard to avoid Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. Rest your feet all the way flat on the ground to avoid ankle pain. Avoid crossing your ankles.

Computer Health Tips Be sure that you are sitting up straight with your shoulders back. Take frequent breaks to walk around and stretch. If you don’t use good posture you will have lots of pain in your back and around your shoulder blades. If you start to feel pain while sitting at the computer, take a second to review your posture and correct what is wrong.

Computer Health Tips Your elbows should be at a 90 or more degree angle. Arms should not be having to stretch to reach the mouse, if this is happening move the mouse closer. Avoid slumping forward while on the computer, keep your chair close enough so you don’t have to worry about this.
