Re: testing children/personal choice

[Guest guest]

Heidi,

My sister has a 6 yr old son and she has CMT I told her when he was younger to

get him tested and she said he had to be a certain age she has yet to do it. But

she puts him in all these sports things at school soccer,T-ball and I think they

want him to play football.

I think he has CMT he's clumsy and he runs funny playing all those sports could

do more harm than good. My father was 58 when he found out so their was

nothing he could do.

My sister has a desk job and I used to do construction before I hurt my back

which has to do with my CMT. I don't want the same thing to happen to him I've

been disabled since I was 32 I'm 40 now but you can't tell your older sis what

to do.

I just have to throw this out there. My 2 children were very active in

sports, playing instruments and cheerleading. When their symptoms started

becoming

obvious; that was when they were tested. Let them be kids and have fun while

they can. Each person's obstacles will let them know when to be tested. A CMT

parent alredy KNOWS what to look for in their child.

Hello Barb,

I can understand where you are coming from, however it is each parents

right to choose " when " their child will be tested. There is no set age limit.

Thanks,

Of course it's a parents right to decide when to have their child tested no

matter what the age.I'm 100% in a agreement with that.
