Solutions, Understanding, and Plan of Action for "W" Sitting

Is W-Sitting Affecting Your Child's Behavior and Learning? 

Did you know that the way your child sits can be the root of their physical and emotional struggles? In this eye-opening video, Michelle Turner (Founder of Movement Lesson™) provides a practical demonstration of why W-Sitting is more than just a bad habit—it is a significant barrier to overall development.

What You’ll Learn in This Practical Guide:

The Locked Pelvis: Michelle demonstrates how W-sitting "locks" the pelvis, making it impossible for the upper body to rotate freely.

Physical Limitations: This position restricts movement variations and creates rigidity in the skeletal structure, specifically impacting the knees and foot mobility.

The Psychological Connection: Rigidity in the body often leads to rigidity in the mind. Michelle explains how limited movement can contribute to aggression, argumentativeness, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

The Impact on Learning: A "stuck" body means a "stuck" brain. Michelle shows how this physical lock hinders the child's ability to explore, learn, and process information efficiently.

Why Do Children Prefer This Position?

Children often choose W-sitting to feel safe and stable, especially those dealing with underlying conditions like Hypotonia (low muscle tone). It provides a wide base of support when their core isn't yet strong enough to support them in other ways.

The Solution: Beyond "Sit Right" Simply forcing a child into a different position can make them feel unsafe. Instead, Michelle teaches you how to help your child find Side Sitting and other functional positions where they feel just as stable but much more mobile.
