When we were younger, we had a lot of flexibility and we enjoyed that flexibility in many ways. One of the ways was being able to sit on the floor and to arrange our legs however it was comfortable. In some cases, we felt that sitting in the “W” position was the best choice, but now we know that it could cause problems!
If you see a child sitting in this position, you should ask them to choose another. When you sit in the W position, it can lead to serious long-term orthopedic consequences. Now that you know, please pass it on.
