'W-sitting position' in children with low tone

[sisone]

I want to ask the opinion about the W sitting position in children with low tone...i try to teach side sitting but all of them seem to like W and try to spend as much time as they can in this position ... I know that in W-position they have better support and that they don't need to use trunk muscles, also they don't need balance reactions because of the wide surface of support... My question is if it harms the hip and knee muscles or ligaments and if it's bad for the upcoming milestones...like quadruped, standing and walking... excuse my English... it's not my natural language... ty
