101. Why Your Neck and Shoulders Hurt After Helping Your Kids With Homework
Homework time can be stressful—and no leave your neck and shoulders aching. Between making dinner, answering questions, and leaning over your child’s paper, helping with schoolwork can become another physically demanding part of your day.
In this episode, I share my own homework struggles—and the irony of becoming a homeschooling mom—along with simple ways to give your body more support.
We’ll talk about:
How juggling homework, dinner, and other tasks affects your setup.
Awkward positions like twisting toward a worksheet, reading upside down, and typing around your child.
Ways to stagger major tasks and make room for focused help.
Small adjustments to your seat, paper, and computer.
When I say, “Let’s look at the pain points in your day as a working mom,” this is what I mean. Sometimes those small aches add up to something more than annoying—and worth addressing.
