[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was a preemie and has low muscle tone. W sitting was one of the issues she worked on with a PT. The PT played games (exercises) to help her strengthen her core, and encouraged her to try sitting in other positions including a half w (one leg out straight and the other tucked back in the w). She encouraged us not to be overly strict about correcting the w because that would involve interrupting a toddlers play every couple minutes to reposition. The PT that constant interruption was potentially more harmful than the w sitting, and it was better to just focus on helping her build her core strength. She told us that as our daughter got older, if she was still a consistent w sitter, we should consider interventions like sitting on a low block. [/quote]
