Occupational Therapist discourage W - sitting due to these potential issues:

1.Shortened leg muscles affecting gross motor skills and coordination
2.Higher risk of dislocation
3.Restricts trunk movement,impacting upper body rotation and bilateral coordination
4.Delays core muscle development, affecting fine/gross motor skills, balance and stability

How to decrease W sitting:
1.Encourage criss cross sitting
2.Encourage core strength through activities like animal walks and yoga poses
3.Promotes upright sitting at a table or lying on the belly during play
4.Use verbal cues to remind the child to reposition, such as "feet are freinds,they stay together.

"Discover why the 'W' sitting position can be harmful for your child’s development and learn effective alternatives for healthy sitting. As a yoga teacher, I share insights on how this posture can cause problems such as hip dislocation, poor posture, and delayed motor skills. I'll also provide tips on encouraging better sitting positions and discuss how occupational therapy can help. Ensure your child's physical well-being with these expert recommendations.

Why it Happens:
The 'W' sitting position puts undue stress on the hips and knees, which can lead to long-term issues with muscle development and joint alignment.

Better Sitting Positions:
Criss-Cross (Tailor) Sitting
Long Sitting
Side Sitting
Sitting on a small bench or chair

Tips for Parents:
1. Gently correct the sitting position when you see your child in the 'W' posture.
2. Encourage activities that promote core strength and flexibility.
3. Use positive reinforcement to make healthy sitting habits fun.
4. Introduce playtime activities that involve different sitting positions.

About Occupational Therapy:
Occupational therapy can support children in developing healthier sitting habits and improve their overall motor skills and posture.
