Talking with My Cutie About her Clubfoot

A Clubfoot Mom - Een podcast door Maureen Hoff

In this episode I talk about how we have started to have the conversation with our cutie about her clubfoot. We have been waiting until she was developmentally ready and she started asking questions about it. Our cutie is almost 4 years old and while she knew that she had to wear her BnB every night, she never really understood why. One of my upcoming guests made me realize that she might be ready for more in depth answers to why she has to wear her BnB and see a special doctor for her feet. I talk about how we decided to start the conversation, what tools we used to help us explain in more detail, and the language we used. I then go on to talk about how our cutie has responded to our conversations and how she is now explaining her clubfoot diagnosis to others around her (including our dog). For the first time I will also be posting on my Instagram pictures that will correlate with this podcast, so if you are interested in more visual representations of how the conversation is going, please check out my IG account @clubfootchroniclesmom
