More Issues We Have Had Regarding My Daughter?
24 Answers
This is a continuation from my last post. Clara is six years old but she is 1’5” tall and 18 pounds because of her dwarfism.
When we go out, this could be to the store, on a trip, etc. At 1'5", Clara quickly gets worn out trying to keep up with us if she is walking, even when we slow down for her. Normally we just put her in a baby carrier,or put her in a kiddie stroller. But she has started to complain about it because she is six years old and wants to be independent, she doesn't want to be carried around or placed in a stroller, so what should we start doing when she gets worn out when she's out with us?
And when she is walking around, especially in public. People aren’t expecting a tiny little toddler sized six year old at times. Is there something she could have/where/hold to be more noticeable, a few time is it she has gotten bumped into out in public because she wasn’t seen.
any ideas on how she can be able to reach the door knobs and open/close them by yourself? The handles on the doors are too high for her, plus Clara isn’t strong enough to open or close them.
If anybody has any ideas that would be awesome. I know Clara wants her independence, and I am having trouble coming up with ideas.

I think a stand up trolley that Clara could stand up on whilst being pushed might be ideal but I can't find anything like that. Not a wheelchair/

I’m afraid there’s no quick fix that you can ‘magic’ up for Clara, she is what she is and sure she’s a delightful little 6 year old girl , door nobs etc would have to be reached by a step device that she could bring out herself, getting around outside then you should be patient with her and not expect her to ‘keep up’ with you, I can understand her wanting her independence, let her experiment with stuff that’s suitable to her needs
I think a stand up trolley that Clara could stand up on whilst being pushed might be ideal but I can't find anything like that. Not a wheelchair/pushchair but a funky fun thing that folds up when not being used.
I have seen children with balloons attached to their wrists so they can be easily spotted. Or a flashing headband - huge choice of fun items a lot of young girls would love to wear.
As for the doors, a carpenter can easily lower the handles and fit easy openers. (It might be as simple as turning the doors upside down and putting new openings in the jambs). Clara will always need the door handles to be lower so it will be well worth doing.

I think calmck has given you some good advice on here and also on your other thread, but you haven't said if those ideas are useful to you.
I was going to say that those of us who are not in the same position as yourself or know anybody who is, would find it difficult to advise you, but meeting other people who are in the same position as yourself, will probably be of far more help.
Whoever CLaras health worker is should be able to advise you on meeting others whose children have dwarfism and you should be able to pick up lots of tips from them.
Also, as you are probably not in the UK where this site is based, there may be places where you are that we don't know about.
I wish you all the best in your endeavour to help your daughter. x

Barsel, the tricycle is a good idea. We still want Clara to be able to walk with us, so she would only be using what we got when she isn’t walking and is tired.
Would you have any suggestions for helping people being able to spot Clara when she is walking?
She has gotten bumped into and tripped over a few times.

I can't think of anything at the moment unless she would be willing to carry a flag of some description that she could wave about.
