I’ve been told not to lift my kids up – Wood on injury

Recently, I had a candid conversation with my physician about an injury I sustained while lifting my children. To my surprise, the doctor advised me against lifting my kids up due to potential long-term damage to my back.

As a parent, I never imagined that something as simple as picking up my kids could lead to injury. But after hearing the doctor’s reasoning, I realized the importance of properly lifting and carrying children to prevent strain on the body.

This new knowledge has made me more conscious of how I interact with my kids, always mindful of protecting my own health while caring for them.

It’s a challenging adjustment, but the well-being of my children and myself is worth the extra effort to lift them safely.

I’ve learned to focus on using proper lifting techniques and avoiding unnecessary strain on my body, even if it means finding alternative ways to interact with my kids.

Though it’s been a difficult transition, I know that prioritizing my health now will benefit me in the long run and allow me to continue being an active, present parent in my children’s lives.

So, if you’ve been told not to lift your kids up, take it seriously and make the necessary adjustments to prevent injury and protect your well-being.
