[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know about your son, but I always used to do it, and often still do.

In my case, it’s because I’m short and furniture doesn’t really fit me.  If my thigh isn’t as long as a chair is deep, I have to slide down in the chair, for my knee to reach the edge to fold over the way a chair is designed to be used, or else my leg dangles awkwardly in mid-air and is uncomfortable.  Growing up, even in chairs designed for kids, where my knee might reach the edge, my feet probably still didn’t reach the floor, leaving me with the options of wrapping them around the chair legs, leaving them swinging unsupported in mid-air air, or folding them up in the chair seat (which was usually the most comfortable position).

While some individuals may fold their legs up because of the various disorders like poor muscle control, sensory processing disorders, low core strength, etc., that PPs have suggested, it may also just be the natural practical adaptation of an individual to their environment.[/quote]
