What to Do If a Child Has Dwarfism?

Question

The child has been crying and fussing a lot recently, and doesn’t eat much. What should be done if the child has dwarfism?

Answer

It is essential to confirm the correct growth goal in order to implement treatment scientifically. Some parents or children may feel that it’s impossible for dwarfism to lead to growth, and thus have no expectations, or do not consider factors such as hereditary factors from previous generations, hoping for unlimited growth, which are all unreasonable goals. The treatment goal for dwarfism should be: first, to maintain a normal growth rate throughout; second, to achieve rapid growth during puberty; third, to reach the final adult height.
