Screen-Hunched: What Hours of Homework on a Laptop or Tablet Are Doing to a Growing Spine

Homework used to mean a stack of books at a kitchen table. Now it means a laptop balanced on a lap, a tablet propped against a pillow, hours of assignments done on a screen that's almost never at the right height. In this episode, we talk about why screen-based homework tends to create worse posture than book-based homework ever did, what a forward-head, rounded-shoulder position actually does to the neck and upper back over months and years, and why this matters even more in kids and teens whose spines are still developing. This isn't an anti-technology episode — it's an episode about what accumulates quietly in a growing body when a bad position gets repeated for hours a day, every school year.
