Back pain
Since school ended, Henry has been having a dedicated flop. Lots of reading, lots of computer games. Since Harry Potter came out, he's been doing even more reading, usually in positions that would make a physiotherapist wince. His typing position has become a slouch.
Today, we made the shift from "If you don't improve your posture, you'll get terrible back pain" to "I told you so".
It isn't exactly much consolation, but at least he's discovered *before* leaving for university that even the young and fit can get serious back problems. Perhaps, though I may be being too optimistic here, he may even learn to correct his posture.
He's in fairly serious pain and he's only himself to blame.
Parents may actually know what they're talking about, but kids still only seem willing to learn from experience.
