hi
no my son does not have that, yet there are some children at my school that do. I just want to give you a BIG HUG and say welcome and i hope we all can support you!

Hi, my younger son Brett has hypotonia and it really is a problem for him he has real constipation issues because of it. Low muscle tone can play a part that we don't even realize. Boy do I know anxiety issues!!!! My little guy Brett again is this poor little anxiety ridden 3 year old poor little guy. His inclusive teacher wanted to move him because of his anxiety. Needless to say he is not being moved. Also delt with the good old global developmental delay that was the first diagnosis before PDD-NOS/Hyperlexia. The list goes on and on. You are definately not alone. Hugs. Anyway if you want to chat.... Denise

Sorry, I don't deal with this one, but I used to babysit a girl with hypotonia - constant physio work.
Might not be much use to you, but sending my thoughts your way. Wishing you luck, and welcome aboard!

How old is your daughter???

My son had very poor muscle tone from the day we brought him home from the agency (he was adopted). He was the floppiest baby I'd ever seen.

We did lots and lots of both physical and occupational therapy with him. One of the things that was wonderful was horse back or hippo therapy. Kris didn't like it initially, but he got over it.

There are just so many different things you can do with hypotonia. Best of luck to you, sweetie!!!

I've always thought Kris' extremely flat feet were also the result of hypotonia and finding shoes that work for him is a nightmare!!!

He is 13 now and still has some issues but most are "resolved" to the point of at least being considered non-issues.

He does continue to have problems with constipation and I give him magnesium oxide to help this.

hugs,
