[quote=Anonymous]Keep reminding her to fix her legs. W sitting can be an indicator of a weak core, and/or hip problems. Likewise, W sitting can contribute to a weak core and/or hip problems. My DS prefers W sitting and has a weak core. He's a preemie and generally has muscle weakness. I used to W sit and remember being told not to, as a child. I have hip problems (femoral anteversion) that may have caused or been caused by the W sitting. It's not a position that all children prefer, only the ones that "need" to for whatever reason. Ideally they shouldn't, but if the child needs to W sit in order to feel comfortable, especially at hard tasks like self-feeding, coloring or drawing, etc., then that's how they should sit. Until they become stronger.[/quote]
