If Your Child Ever Sits in This Position, Stop Them Immediately Guilty as charged. As a kid I used to sit for hours on end in the “W” position while playing. This is not unusual at all, but actually a very common sitting position used by children. No matter how common it is though, after reading this, please, NEVER let your child sit this way. Pinky promise. What Is W-Sitting? If your child is sitting with his or her knees bent, feet tucked under, and legs splayed out to the side looking like a “W, ” they are “W-sitting.” Sitting this way keeps your kiddo supported and secure; however, when doing it for too long, it can negatively impact a his or her development. It’s true. My husband, for example, has been dealing with knee issues ever since his childhood as a result. Though not everyone will experience negative or life-long consequences from W-sitting, it is certainly elevating their risk. Negative consequences of W-Sitting may include (due to unnecessary strain on the body): Orthopedic problems Delayed development of postural control and stability Delayed development of refined motor skills Extensive and or exclusive W-Sitting may put extra stress on: Hamstrings Hip Abductors Internal Rotators Heel Cords W-Sitting may also lead to: Dislocation of joints Shortened muscles Tightened muscles Problems with balance and coordination Bad posture Weakened trunk muscles What YOU can do to prevent W-Sitting: When sitting on the floor, the lotus position is a better go-to. Teach them how to sit on a chair or at a desk. Teach them how to sit up straight and remind them to do it. Remind them not to sit in a “W” position. Invest in a good chair. Keep them active. Make sure they don’t just sit around, but take movement breaks, run around, stretch and play...
