As parents, we are often overwhelmed by the love we have for our kids. After all, parents’ love for their children knows no limits right? We want to give our kids the best. The best education. The best of the devices. Basically the best things our money can buy. So how do we draw the line on what is a necessity, what is a material fulfillment, how do we differentiate between a nice to have vs a must have?
Case in point: How do you feel as a parent, when you see your kids shouldering big, heavy backpacks filled with books and school items as per the education system’s requirement. Do we step in to carry those bags for them all through the school year? Or do we equip them with the right item to ease their burden, yet teach them to be independent and allow them to handle their own belongings?
The common sight in most schools these days are school bags, almost twice the size of the child carrying it, being seen on the back of the students. With the delay of implementation of lockers in schools by the Malaysian government, children still cannot escape the reality of bringing a heavy number of books to school. The system is not going to change overnight and school-going children have been lugging monstrous loads of books to schools for generations.
To add on as a cause for concern-a study by the Australian Physiotherapy Association found an estimated amount of 70% of school children suffers back pain from poorly fitted school bags(Chuaet al.,2019)
And there are those dreaded stairs in the way the schools are built in Malaysia. Levels are levels of classrooms and students often have to travel up and down flights of stairs to get in and about the school vicinity for various activities.
