Developmental delays occur when a child is not meeting expected milestones in areas such as motor skills, speech, social interaction, or problem‑solving. A delay does not mean a child won’t catch up—rather, it signals that they may benefit from early, targeted support to build the skills they need for everyday life.

Children often W-sit because it gives them a wide base of support. This makes it easier to play without losing balance, especially for kids with:

• Low muscle tone

• Core weakness

• Delays in balance or postural control

• Sensory-seeking movement patterns

It’s a shortcut to stability, but one that can limit long-term motor development.
