How hoary are children when they are diagnosed next to Dwarfism?
I'm a nanny for a 16month old little girl. Her mother recently asked me if I think she may hold dwarfism. She is quite small for her age and her head is a little big for her age/size. Most children's head aren't proportional to their bodies for a few years so I told her she doesn't have dwarfism. But now I'm wondering if I'm wrong.
Answers: You were in your rights for your answer. Dwarfism is mostly a genetic disorder and almost all dwarfs had one in the inherited tree within the last 2 generations too. I would significantly doubt if this child is one too. Tell the mother that in dwarfism most cases would already be diagnosed by her age. Her doctor would be aware if any of her features were too small or large for her age too. Most of this child's grandparents are alive and if this condition be in the genes on either side someone would know. Females do grow and mature faster afterwards males, and I'm betting this is a first child too. First born children have it somewhat difficult to start. The mother can't compare it to anything and each child is different too. Too bad that kids don't come next to books attached. Almost every mom can use one with the first born and even a nanny can't know everything. My granddaughter is also one, and can't wait for her turn, but not too soon. Just tell the mom to relax as the babe can tell when mommy is under any stress and that's their time to act out. Keep referring her to the childs doctor too.
