How can I tell if my child's flat feet are causing them pain or discomfort?

Asked 4 years ago

Hi there, as a parent, I am concerned about my child's flat feet and how it might affect their daily activities. I am not sure if their flat feet are causing them pain or discomfort as they never say as much. I want to make sure they receive appropriate care and treatment if necessary. Can anyone provide some advice about how to tell if my child's flat feet are causing them problems? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, watch their walking pattern or gait. A child in discomfort may change their walking style or limp in an attempt to alleviate the pain. Other signs to notice are changes in their behavior, such as becoming more irritable or fussy, changes in their appetite, and changes in their sleep patterns.
