Child Development:
Children are most relaxed while drawing, or playing, and that is when they end up sitting or lying in various comfortable positions.
But, if you notice your child sitting with their knees bent, feet tucked under, and their legs splayed out to the side in a ‘W’ like position; then that’s DANGER written all over it!Children consider ‘W-sitting’ as a standard position, and because nobody stopped them doing this, it becomes their habit and then they end up feeling secure and supported with this arrangement.
But, letting a child sit in this position for too long can adversely affect their growth and development.
Not only it leads to them suffering through orthopedic issues, but also sees delayed development of Refined Motor Skills.
