My 2 year old hurt her foot and has refused to walk on it since thursday. We have had ex rays done and her foot is not swollen or bruised. The doctor says it could be a sore muscle but she should stiil try to walk on it by now. Everytime we try and get her to walk on it she screems. The doctor said if she will not walk by monday he will have to send us to a specalist.What is wrong with my chld?

Take her to the mall playplace.
If the other kids don't motivate her then worry.

It could be a very small hairline fracture in the bone, which is VERY painful. Depending on how she hurt her foot, she may just be afraid. My son had a hairline fracture in his elbow and screamed everytime someone touched his arm, how he received it was by his older brother "swinging" him around in circles.
The doctor said time would heal, not much they can do, but sometimes they hurt more than a normal break would.
Good Luck!

Based on your child's age, she is probably just fearful of the pain she felt before and might have a little tenderness. My dtr sprained her ankle at age 1 1/2 and it took her a while to get her confidence back. In other words, it might be psychological, but of course, have the specialist take a look. Just be patient.

this will be an early signal of autism. If she has any of the different following indicators, please communicate over together with her pediatrician ASAP: hand flapping, lack of eye contact, in the back of agenda or dropping speech she had, specializing in a unmarried certain element of a toy somewhat of utilising the toy for play fee (spinning wheels, in common words likes one color), lining issues up, no social skills/would not comprehend the thanks to play with different little ones. it would want to also be an illustration of a sensory integration affliction. some little ones don't love particular textures (grass, slimy issues, tender ingredients) and are tender to temperatures. this will be a reason she walks on her feet. you'll locate a great number of thoughts on sensory processing topics in an outstanding e book called The Out of Sync newborn through Carol inventory Kranowitz. Does she reply abnormally to different issues? Does she pick to get moist or messy? those will be clues that she has a sensory difficulty. In both case, have your sister-in-regulation element out the toe-walking to her daughter's pediatrician for further exam.

you might wont to teach your two year old that her foot isn't really hurt because some kids do that because they see other people doing that and they copy what they see. So your child may think they are SUPPOSE to do that but you might want to show her that she is ok.

I would have a second opinion!!! She is a 2 year old and it is going to take a lot for her slow down. Maybe she has a hairline fracture..... Sounds fishy to me!!! Good Luck....

Most likely it is the memory of it hurting. While you should not bribe children to do things, in this case do offer her favorite treat and make her walk to it. If she crawls to it do not let her have it.

it could be a attention behavior because of the attention she got when it happened but if that's not the case maybe there is a small fracture they can't see on the x-ray.
