@scienceslab: ⚙️ The Physics Behind a Common Parenting Mistake 👶💡 It may look harmless, but lifting a child by their arm can cause serious injury — and physics explains why. When you pull a child’s arm, the shoulder becomes the pivot point, and their body weight creates a rotational force called torque. This torque puts intense pressure on delicate joints that are still developing. 🦴 Even a small force can cause the radial bone in the elbow to slip out of place — a painful condition known as “nursemaid’s elbow.” ✅ Always lift children by their torso or under the armpits to evenly distribute weight and protect their fragile joints. 💡 A little physics awareness can prevent a lot of pain. 📍 Follow for more science explained in simple, real-world ways. . . #physicsinlife #scienceofeveryday #safescience #torqueexplained #parentingtips
