Children Think Better On Their Feet

Joshua Gelber2015-05-01T14:39:32-04:00

You've read the articles describing the dangers of sitting on adults. But how does sitting affect children? A study from the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health finds students with standing desks are more attentive than their seated counterparts. In fact, preliminary results show 12 percent greater on-task engagement in classrooms with standing desks, which equates to an extra seven minutes per hour of engaged instruction time. Credit: Texas A&M Health Science Center Standing desks - also known as stand-biased desks - are raised desks that have stools nearby, enabling students to sit or stand during [...]

Joshua Gelber2010-10-18T09:00:59-04:00

"Why would I bring my children to a chiropractor when they don't have back problems?" "What does chiropractic have to with children's health?"

Bed Wetting – a solution!

Joshua Gelber2010-10-15T08:00:01-04:00

Nocturnal Enuresis is the fancy medical term for bed-wetting during sleep. Bed-wetting is very common among children and it's estimated that about 5 to 7 million children suffer from it.

"A reward system for dry nights." 3. "Asking your child to change the sheets." 4. "Having your child practice holding his or her urine for longer and longer times." This obviously doesn't correct the cause and is a feeble attempt at best. [...]

In my latest ThatChannel.com interview, the topic was posture. It's a simple but crucial topic for discussion - after being on holiday and having some vivid "people watching" time, it was apparent that kids these days, especially, are unaware of how poor posture will affect their future. Being proactive about posture is one of the single most important actions one can take! Enjoy! Dr J
