what exactly is w-sitting? my older son sits with his knees bent but his bottom on the floor. and my younger (BPI) son sits on his legs with his knees bent. bottom rests on legs. is that ok for the son with BPI?

Marlyn, look at the links I posted in my reply on page 2 of this thread. There are explanations and pictures of w-sitting as well as ways to help to not do it. From what you describe, it sounds like your older son w-sits, which is not good for the hips and legs and could cause future problems. Please read throuh this whole thread and the links posted. ~Tina
