M- Sit

Some children assume the following incorrect posture when sitting on a carpet:
They sit with their knees bent and their feet facing backwards. The child therefore broadens his base of support in compensating for poor trunk control. This posture may cause damage to the knee -joint. Instead of exercising trunk muscles, your child leans forward. Always tell your child to fix his legs. Your child should then sit with his legs straight forward or crossed and these 2 positions require more use of the trunk muscles.
