A member asked:

Is it normal for a child to sit in the w position till age 8?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some do: It is a position used by some and only possible when their hip socket allows it. I try to discourage it after age 4 as it promotes the interning of the feet from the hip socket, That in-toeing can be cancelled out by having them sit cross-legged.
