@billybassman21 5 месяцев назад

I stopped my son from toe walking just by keeping sturdy shoes on him all day even around the house. He loves shoes and socks now and pretty much always wears them by choice because he wore them since he was toddler.

@Java-D Год назад

My son also wears smo’s but for a different reason. Two things I notice for Simon’s are that when your daughter removed them, the top of his foot was really red. That means the brace isn’t fitting well and likely needs adjusted. Secondly, his shoes definitely look too small. Most orthopedics recommend getting shoes in a size bigger than usual and removing the insole to allow plenty of room for the brace and for the foot and toes to spread out when the child bears weight on their feet. I suggest taking him to the orthopedic with those shoes to have a good assessment done.

@7Aheadfamily Год назад

Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️. Thanks for your concerns as well! We just had an appointments not too long ago where the doctor checked everything and said that it was his shoes, fit well, and he hasn’t been bothered by them at all. I really don’t see any red marks when we take the shoes off, but we will keep an eye out for that. ❤️

@Java-D Год назад

@@7Aheadfamily ok! Maybe it looks different on video than in person.

@7Aheadfamily Год назад

Yeah, I think so, and I originally thought the shoes were too tight as well, but the doctor said that they were good so I guess we’ll keep them for a bit anyways. 😊

Glad you realized it would cause problems if not treated and reacted accordingly. currently and always have walked on my toes on and off. I think the main thing that helped it not be an issue is that it wasn't all the time and that I'm very active with various physical activities.

When I was a child I walked on my toes, but only some of the time so no intervention was necessary. I'm now 40 and I still do it once in a while when I'm at home or alone in an elevator etc... I can't explain why, but it just feels good! My husband with ADHD was a much more frequent toe-walker than me, and for him it was a serious issue. He actually had to consciously train himself to heel walk when he got older. I'm glad there are early therapies now and that Simon is getting the support he needs. 😊

Pretty sure im still toe walking at age 37. My back and hips are in bad shape now. Its definitely more pronounced in my bare feet. I have super high arches that dont really compress and i have a problem with sensing the floor without custom arch supports. Maybe he needs arch support to get him connected to the ground? The entire nervous system needs that sensory input.

I saw another family on tik tok who also has an autistic 7 year old plus a 7 more kids some of them also have disabilities, I was going to comment on your next video to say you should put Ezra and Simon in foot braces like the ones I saw. If you want I will tell u their tik tok as they might be similar to you, hopefully your foot braces help the kids that the lady on tik tok shows have really improved and been a huge impact on the kids but you can’t walk with foot braces unless you have shoes which will be a tiny bit inconvenient heart❤

But hes hurting so bad as a broken point as f***But he has broken bones for the way it happened. It was very funny and we were all laughing at it. But he gets so mad when we laughed down. I have it on a go pro. And and I erased it as soon as I've seen it. It was funny but it wasn't it was. Everyone laugh at it but I don't want people laughing at my kids.

Yes! It has helped a bunch. Simon does not mind wearing them at all, and they completely stop him from walking on his toes. When he doesn’t wear the braces, he also is on his tippy toes much less than he was before, and if we tell him flat, he will go down on his heels.

Omg that's awesome. We live outside the US and are having trouble finding these. Did you guys order them online? If so where ?

So happy to hear Simon is walking better thanks so much!!

@7Aheadfamily Год назад

You’re welcome, we got ours from our doctor, he is a specialist here on kids feet. I am not sure if there’s anything online for something like this, it is important that they fit right, so I would think you’d need to get them from a doctor, but not sure.

Over time, habitual toe walking places abnormal stress on the bones and ligaments in the feet, knees, and lower back which can deform bones and stretch ligaments, causing joint pain, impaired function, knee instability, arthritis, and increased risk of injury as one grows older. Hope this helps!❤️

I have level 1 ASD and I feel you guys with Simon, I was a kid that was tending to get loose as a toddler and I at times walked on my tiptoes but only if it made me agitated to walk normally.

So glad you could join us here. ❤️ Thanks for sharing! How often would it agitate you to walk normally?

My son is 5 & autistic. The podiatrist said today that he thinks surgery on his Achilles will help. I'm not convinced as it is not a guarantee & my thought is that is neurological so maybe CBT? I'm so unsure of what to do 😕

@7Aheadfamily 6 месяцев назад

Surgery is usually only needed if he can’t bend all the way he needs to. Sorry that you are dealing with that.

@7Aheadfamily 6 месяцев назад

As far as surgery on his achilles tendon goes, that depends on his mobility of his heal. Does he spend a lot of time on his toes? Can he bend his foot flat on the ground? You can always get a second opinion if you have concerns. If you can, I would go to a pediatric orthotics office, if you have one available. That's where our son goes to get his braces on his feet. good luck!
