Question
A 4-year-old girl often clamps her legs together when sitting down, her face turns bright red, and she looks excited. This situation is becoming more frequent, and I’m afraid to let her sit down. What should I do?
Answer
This leg-clamping situation typically occurs in children aged 1 to 3. The child may habitually clamp their legs together while sitting. It is recommended to create a relaxed and fun environment, shift the child’s attention, and avoid breaking the child’s leg-clamping behavior. Arrange for the child to fall asleep naturally by letting them sleep without interruption.
