A member asked:
4 yo walks with toes pointed out. more pronounced at times. sits in "w" position which we discourage. will he grow out of out-toeing? could it be cp?

See below: My advice is to see Pediatrician and then Podiatrist. If any neurological cause is suspected, then you will be referred to Neurologist. Sitting in a "W" position actually promotes in-toe( toes pointing inward) by internally rotating hips. The back, hips, knees, lower legs and feet should be examined. This often identifies any abnormalities.
