How Toddlers Sit Up So Straight

Toddlers don’t have to try hard to sit up straight, and neither should you! There’s an easier way to improve your sitting posture. Read on to find out.

How does this toddler look different from the average adult? He may look like he’s sitting up straight, but he’s not working hard to do it. What he’s actually doing is sitting upright. The difference is that sitting upright takes less effort.

That uprightness we see comes from keeping his senses open to the rest of what’s going on in the space, and maintaining a free and spacious relationship between his head, neck, and back. He’s got the freedom to move however he wants, wherever he wants to.⁠

This freedom is available to grown-ups too! Learn more about sitting upright with a Move Like Your Baby movement assessment.
