Here are some warning signs of scoliosis in children:

• Abnormal posture: Uneven shoulders or hips, one side is higher than the other.
• Curved spine: When viewed from behind, the spine may be curved in a C or S shape.
• Kyphosis: When bending forward, a hunchback may be seen in the back or chest.
• Fatigue, pain: Children often feel tired, have pain in the back, shoulders or hips.
• Asymmetrical height: The two legs are not the same length.

If you suspect your child has signs of scoliosis, parents should take their child to see a doctor for timely diagnosis and treatment.

• Encourage your child to exercise regularly.
• Keep your child in the correct sitting and standing posture.
• Wear a backpack properly.
• Avoid carrying heavy objects.
