Criss-cross Applesauce, a nursery rhyme phrase referring to sitting cross-legged on the floor, is a popular sitting style used in school environments when gathering students in groups for exercises and reading. Replacing the long-used and politically incorrect ‘Indian Style’ phrase in educational settings, Criss-cross Applesauce is a familiar and common posture that helps students gather and focus students for learning. Kids should not sit in Criss-cross Applesauce position for too long or they may have pains or develop poor posture.

Should children be forced to sit Criss-Cross Applesauce?
Criss-cross Applesauce may help students focus and gather, but being forced to sit for prolonged periods of time in this position may actually promote bad posture and cause pain.
