He'll be 3 next week. He can sit criss cross and with legs straight out, but definitely doesn't want/prefer to. He is now in OT to gain core strength and the "W" sitting is what made us realize the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/w-sitting#post-2440003 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:18:48 +0000 Mrs. D 2440003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember her ever sitting this way. Now she tends to sit with both legs to one side, very lady like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/w-sitting#post-2439998 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:16:58 +0000 FaithFertility 2439998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted about this a month or so ago! She did it more when she was crawling arohnd , quick way to sit now that she walks 100% not so much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/w-sitting#post-2439987 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:14:40 +0000 Beehive 2439987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS sits in a W sometimes. When he started preschool at 2, they taught him how to sit criss cross, and we would encourage that. It became a lot easier for him to sit that way once he practiced in school and at home. Now at 3 he sits all different ways (W, criss cross, legs in front, sitting on his legs...) and there's enough variety that I'm not really concerned about it anymore. So my thoughts are not to worry too much about it at 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/w-sitting#post-2439974 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:11:23 +0000 Alivoo01 2439974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2.5 and does, but he can also sit with his legs out in front of him and criss-crossed. I'm not concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/w-sitting#post-2439959 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:03:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2439959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She does occasionally (14 mo). I correct her when I'm with her, but not too concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/w-sitting#post-2439903 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 10:45:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 2439903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your LO sit like this? (with their legs flipped out, making them the middle of the W). My 3 year old did for awhile around 1.5-2, but I gently encouraged her to sit criss cross and she would. </p> <p>However, my 12 month old has started sitting like this and aside from constantly changing her legs, there isn't much I can do yet because she doesn't understand to change her position!</p> <p>A member of my extended family sat like this as a child and his stance is VERY obvious as an adult because of it. Both his legs turn out! </p>
