My name is miryan my daughter is 6 and has achondroplasia. She is now noticing

the difference that she is smaller. She tells me she wants to be big like the

others.. It breaks my heart because I'm also adapting to this and sometimes I

don't know what to say. I tell her everybody is different some big big and some

small. I tell her there is nothing you can't do only you need a little help.

please if anyone has advise it would be truly be appreciated. thank you for

your time..

Hi Miryan - your best bet is to join the Parents of Little People groups on

(parentsoflittlepeople2) or on Facebook

(search for POLP on Facebook under groups) - both are great places to

connect with other parents who either have already been where you are, or

are in the same boat as you right now. I can't offer much advice yet since

Caitlin is only 4 and isn't asking any questions yet, although when she does

she has lots of peer and adult LP examples to look to. My best advice would

be to find your local chapter of the LPA and find some people with dwarfism

that she can look up to so she can know how good her life can be!

Good luck :-)
