2017.11.30 29

It is important for mothers to give attention to their child as whatever the child does can affect him. This also includes his sitting position. Mothers must observe the sitting position of the child and if the child sits in W position often, it is important to change his habit.

What is W sitting position? What is its effect and how can you prevent your child from sitting in that position? Today HappyMom.Life is here to give you the answer to these questions.



Let’s Get To Know The “W Sitting” Position


In this position, children sit on their bottoms, with their knees bent, feet tucked under, and their legs splayed out to the side in what looks like a “W”. This is a standard sitting position because children feel supported and secure. However, this position can cause more harm than good.



The Negative Effects of “W-Sitting” Include


The “W-Sitting” delays the development of postural control. Let’s have a look at some of the negative effects:

  • The back muscles do not exert for sitting. As a result, the back muscles will not be strong. This may cause developmental instability.
  • Hips twisting out of the socket. This will affect the hip in the long term and cause joint pain/
  • Kegs muscles shrinkage and can cause problems while walking. Moreover, it will teist the toes instead of pointing straight which can cause the child to fall easily.
  • Lack of development and learning because of the child sitting in W Position, they will be less interested in other toys around them but the toys in front of them. In this position, it is difficult for them to move around and play with other toys. This will result in lack of skills in learning, enthusiasm, pursuit and curiosity.



Prevent Your Child Of Sitting In “W-Sitting” Position


  • Parents must keep an eye and remind or hold the child to change the sitting position to another position instead. The proper sitting position for the child is sitting with straight leg forward, or sitting on the chair with legs hanging down.
  • You may also invest in a small desk or table with a chair. The child must feel comfortable while sitting.
  • Do not be a bad example for your child. It is important to understand that your child will imitate what you do. Therefore, it is important that you must not sit in the position you do not want your child to sit in.

“W-Sitting” position can cause a lot of problems for your child in the long run. Therefore, it is important to immediately change their habits if you see them sitting in the position.
