Don't Let a Computer Hurt Your Kids

Despite the rather lurid title, this inexpensive (and inexpensively made) program offers a sensible guide for parents regarding basic adjustments for children using computer workstations. With the rise of repetitive stress injuries, muscular and skeletal problems (from poor posture) and increased eyestrain, parents need to ensure that their children are both properly situated in front of the computer and that they take frequent rest and stretch breaks. Viewers will learn about chair adjustment, keyboard angle, monitor placement and recommended lighting, among other helpful tips. Although it's a low-budget effort, the information will certainly help concerned parents and ultimately benefit their children. Recommended. Aud: E, I, J, P. (R. Pitman)
