I remember when I was little they called it "Indian style".<br /><br />Of course, I am not an expert on this subject, but it is my personal impression that most children probably have at least some sensory processing issues. I would imagine most children probably outgrow these issues naturally or learn to compensate for them on their own. As a parent, I find it useful to be aware of these issues, so I can give my kids extra help if they need it. <br /><br />We do a lot of core strengthening work, and I think it has helped Big Brother a lot with his sensory processing issues. Unfortunately, it hasn't helped much with the W-sitting. At this point, I think he does this more out of habit than low muscle tone. If I had known about W-sitting sooner, I may have been able to prevent the habit from forming in the first place.<br /><br />If you'd like more information about Sensory Processing Disorder, the SPD Foundation website is a good place to start: www.spdfoundation.netRebeccahttp://www.raccoonschool.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270430323990613896.post-13241669675689187772011-06-07T09:54:22.529-04:002011-06-07T09:54:22.529-04:00Very interesting!

My son often w sits and we were told by several people that he shouldn't, so we've been correcting him whenever we catch him sitting that way (we say, criss-cross applesauce):) What's interesting to me is that I never knew it was sensory related.
