THE AWKWARD GAIT OF CHILDREN

THE AWKWARD GAIT OF CHILDREN. The general belief is that the child will outgrow the trouble, and to a great extent, as he grows older and becomes more self-conscious, he does manage to conceal it,. but neither the cause nor the difficulty itself becomes entirely removed. As the child grows older, he becomes ashamed of his crooked legs and awkward gait, and makes an effort to correct them, but he does it at the expense of unusual fatigue and a strain upon weakened muscles.
