Hi angel - I am small - I have hypochondroplasia - a sort of lesser condition- I am 4 ft 6. I am 34 yrs and still encounter people staring. Children are the worst.
I hate school holidays when all the kids are out.
The other day a little girl came right up to me and said out loud "your small" - I just looked at her - to be honest I never know quite what to say.
It is just one of those things I live with.
Tell your daughter to ignore them and walk away if they ever call names - it does not make you feel any better to have a go back.

Subject: [achondroplastic_dwarfism] New Here.... I am Angel I have 3 kids, Mallori (AH) who is almost 16, Boomer (AH) who is 12 and Alli (Achon) who is 5 ½. Alli is in 1st grade. The first week of school 3 boys (maybe 5th or 6th grade) came up to us and asked how old Alli was and if she went to school there. After I told them yes, one boy hit one of the other boys and said see I told you. Then the second week 3 girls were walking maybe 3 feet behind us. One hollered across the play ground to some boy and said "look it is that little kid again". I stopped and turned and looked at the girls, the one who hollered looked at me like she couldn't believe we heard her. I turned back around walked a few feet then turned back and told them that her name is Alli. Yesterday Alli went to a friends birthday party at a park, Alli, myself and a couple of the kids from the party were standing by the play ground talking and 4 boys (4 to 10 yrs old) came and stood behind us, and said "wow she can talk and she has a big head". That was said a few times. I didn't say anything for a few reasons. One: being it pissed me off it is the first time I have heard that comment and Two: I was stunned. It hurt and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it just in case Alli didn't hear it. I hope that she didn't. She hasn't said anything yet. She has a great group of friends who don't treat her any other way then her being just Alli. It kills me to know that she will encounter rude and mean people in her life. I wish I could protect her, she is such a neat kid. Sorry this was so long.
