What is W-sitting?

👶What is W-sitting? It’s a sitting position where kids form a ‘W’ shape with bent knees, often seen during play. While it’s okay occasionally, frequent W-sitting may raise concerns like limited core strength, delayed hand preference, and increased muscle tightness.

💡 What to do? Remind your little ones to ‘fix their legs’ when W-sitting. Opt for diverse sitting options – introduce a small chair or stool to avoid direct floor sitting. Encourage alternatives like crossing legs, sitting with legs straight, or placing legs to the side. By addressing and correcting W-sitting habits, you’re paving the way for healthier development in your toddler! 🌈👶
