Lesson #5 of 9⏱️ 10 Minutes
Typing Posture & Healthy Ergonomics
Protect your back, wrists, and eyes with perfect keyboard posture.
1
Step 1: Learn the Concept
Sitting comfortably with proper ergonomics prevents neck stiffness, wrist fatigue, and slumped shoulders. Follow the 90-90-90 rule: knees bent at 90 degrees with feet flat, hips at 90 degrees in the chair back, and elbows at 90 degrees with wrists floating level with the spacebar.

Step 2: See How It Works (Hands & Fingers Map)
Look at your wrists: they should float gracefully above the desk in a gentle dome, like holding a fresh apple or bubble, rather than resting heavily on sharp desk edges.

- ✓Screen at eye level, about an arm’s length away (18–24 inches).

- ✕Slouching forward toward the screen or resting chin in hands.
- ✕Resting wrists on desk edges, which pinches blood flow to fingers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child's feet don't reach the floor?↓
Place a small box, stool, or yoga block under their feet so their knees stay at a comfortable 90-degree angle.
