[quote=Anonymous]Our now 4 yo did (and still does) sit like that. We brought it up, but it was no real concern, although we did have the benefit that we had already checked for hip problems due to a family history, so didn't have that to worry about. My understanding of tge issue is that kids *can* use it to compensate for low tone, and that it can hamper the development of skills that 'cross the midline' - ie reaching across the body to grab something on your left with your right hand, or similar movement. Since our daughter didn't have any of those issues, our Dr wasn't worried. And FWIW, apparently I also did tge W sit as a child, and was just fine and even athletic (though no great superstar), so I'm guessing my DD just inherited some traits from me. All of which to say it's worth looking into as a possible indicator of an actual problem, but W sitting by itself isn't necessarily a big deal.[/quote]
