Myths about Feet #4. Kids should Suffer until Their Feet Stop Growing

Lots of parents have consulted with me as an Occupational Therapist for their children. There are many myths about orthotics but, when it comes to our children, we should get our facts straight. Children should never have to complain about pain.

Kids should NOT wait until they're older and their feet stop growing to get orthotics.

Consider this: If your child is squinting in the classroom to the see the board, do you wait until their eyes stop changing before buying them glasses?

Orthotics are effective for 2 shoe sizes. Your child's comfort is top priority in my mind.
