17.01.2022 As an OT/PT team, we always promote floor time play for young kids, but some children find it most comfortable to sit by turning their legs outwards and backwar...ds in the shape of a W. Many parents and teachers have heard about W-sitting, but are probably asking if this is really a problem, and if so, why? 1. Unlike other sitting positions, when a child is sitting in a W position his legs provide a wide based of support, requiring very little activation of the core muscles. The W position may be a sign of trunk muscle weakness, which can lead to difficulty doing many gross and fine motor tasks along with trouble sitting for longer durations in school. 2. W-sitting is a more static position, rather than a dynamic one. In this position, kids cannot easily lean in different directions or rotate their trunks and are therefore are not fully engaging with their environment in a developmentally appropriate way. 3. Even if there is no underlying cause for W-sitting, it can put a lot of stress on the hips and knees, potentially causing problems for these joints later on in life. Gently reminding your child to fix his feet early on, can help break the habit and encourage him to become more comfortable in other positions. A good way to start helping your child avoid this position is by simply prompting with a verbal reminder, hand signal, or manually repositioning. Placing his legs straight out on front (long sitting), bending them by his side (side sitting), or advancing to criss-cross applesauce (tailor sitting) are good alternatives. If you suspect your child’s core is weak, add in some strengthening exercises on a weekly basis. Crawl through tunnels, jump on a trampoline, or practice some yoga poses.

06.01.2022 My Size Potty features the look and feel of an adult toilet to help ensure a comfortable and confident transition to the real thing. The toilet handle features a flushing sound to reward and encourage your little one, and a built in wipe dispenser promotes good hygiene habits. This easy to clean potty includes a removable bowl and clip on splash guard for boys. Also comes in white :)
