my son is 4 years old and had recently started falling alot. I had him stand with his feet together and when he does the inside part of his right sticks out really far and kinda goes over the left knee. when he does this if you look at the back part of his knee the left knee does the same and goes over the right just in the back..... any suggestions on what this might be ???

you just need to have him evaluated by some professional. I wouldnt trust anyones oppinion here on the internet.. this is your precious child we are talking about.. there could be a 100 difference reasons why this is happening to your child.. Get to the doctor soon just to rule out any serious condition or disease.. goodluck! and God bless you both!

Take him to a doctor. This is nothing I would consider to be serious, but just in case, I suggest you get him examed.
