Tip 10 'Help me sit in different positions'

Sitting in the ‘W’ position, with each leg bent back to each side, can be common for me, but it will limit my trunk rotation and core strength. Encourage me to sit with my legs straight out in front of me with a straight back – I will copy you if you do it first. When I’m sat on a chair, make sure that my feet can touch the floor. This will make me feel stable and help me focus on what I’m doing. If I’m sat on a chair which is too high for my legs, then if possible put a ‘step’ under my feet like the ones I use when I’m toilet training.
