Don't let your baby sit like that! W-sitting dangers. Why shouldn't the child sit in the letter "W"?
Sit on the frog, the so-called sit in the letter W is a position willingly chosen by the youngest. Unfortunately, the W sitting position is incorrect - if a child sits down in the W letter too often or too long, it may adversely affect its development. Why should a child not sit in the letter W and what are the consequences of frequent sitting in the frog position?
What is sit W, or sit on a frog?
For adults, the position of the frog appears to be very unnatural and even painful, but sitting in the letter W is a position willingly adopted by many children. The child sits like a frog because then it has a large support plane, which makes it easier for him to maintain the position without over-tightening the muscles of the torso. This position is especially favored by children with low muscle tone, but not only. Simply put, sitting in the letter W is sitting like a frog, i.e. sitting between the legs pointing backward. When the child sits in the letter W, he will sit down with his bottom on the ground between his backward-curved legs and the feet pointing to the sides. The elbows are then bent and the feet twisted. Siad W takes its name from the way the child's legs are arranged at that time - when we look at the child sitting in this way from above, the arrangement of the legs resembles the letter W. Sitting in the frog position is often unnoticed or underestimated by parents, but requires intervention when sitting on the frog becomes the dominant position in the child.
Why shouldn't the child sit in the letter W?
Prolonged sitting on the letter W may be detrimental to a child's development. What are the consequences of frequent sitting in the frog position? Here are some of them:
In the future, a child who prefers to sit W may have problems with central stabilization. This may result in an incorrect body posture - for example, slouching or walking with a strongly protruding belly or bottom.
When a child sits in a frog for too long and too often, there is a greater risk of developing postural defects, valgus knees and feet, standing and walking with legs pointing inwards, pelvic misalignment, and scoliosis. When the child sits on the letter W, he may also have problems with the hip joints in the future.
The position of the frog is also associated with problems with motor coordination and maintaining balance. Coordination problems can translate into drawing and writing difficulties, trouble catching the ball, etc.
Sit in the letter W is also a weakening of the trunk muscles - sitting on the frog does not require the strength of the muscles to maintain balance, so they do not work sufficiently and do not strengthen.
Sit in the letter W, i.e. the position of the frog - what else is worth knowing?
It should be noted that not always sit W, i.e. the position where the child is sitting like a frog requires urgent intervention by the parent - especially if the frog sit is sporadically chosen by the child and does not dominate other ways of sitting down. So if the parent not only notices the W-letter but also the variety of sitting, and at the same time does not observe problems with muscle tone or activity, the W-letter does not have to be a cause for concern from time to time. It is important to show your child other sitting patterns and encourage them to change positions frequently. The problem, however, is staying in the W letter for a long time and the situation when the position of the frog begins to dominate others, or it becomes the only type of sitting preferred by the child. When a child sits on the letter W frequently, the best solution will be to consult a physiotherapist who will diagnose the cause of sitting in the frog position and suggest solutions to eliminate the problem.
