Article: Is Your Child’s School Bag Too Heavy? - A Hidden Health Concern How heavy is too heavy for a child to carry every single day? And what happens when that burden becomes part of their body, their posture, their exhaustion, and even their health?

In this powerful episode of Balmurti Online, Dr. I. K. Vijliwala explores a disturbing reality many parents and schools ignore: the physical weight of school bags may be doing far more damage than we think.

Two girls. Two different lives. One shared sorrow.

🎧 A heartfelt listen for every parent who wants to raise a child that feels enough — as they are.
