Can anyone remind me what is it with sitting in a W position? If a child sits like that often and for long periods, is it an indication of a problem, or it will lead to a problem? Dora's SLP saw her sitting like that once, something she'd never seen before, and she said I don't want to let her sit like that too much. She doesn't, but she does it more than she used to. Arwyn sits like that a lot more. Her feet don't fan out, but because she's always on the go, it's the most obvious position to fall back into from a crawl. My new ped said there's nothing wrong with sitting like that, it just means the kid is flexible enough to do so. I know that in yoga there is a position like that. But I've seen it discussed here before and I never got to bring up the yoga question.
