My 2 year old drags his feet and wears out socks & shoes on top. Does anybody else have this problem?

Question

I took him to his doctor, and he says to wait until he's 5 years old and see if he grows out of it, but I'm wondering if I should get a 2nd opinion, or follow this doc's advice.

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

you could always have him see a childrens physical therapist. i don't know much about physical delays, so this could just be a phase, or it could have something to do with his muscles and how he's able to move his legs.  

Answer 3

It's normal. Lots of kids have weird habits. Don't worry about it. He will grow out of it.

Buy cheap shoes, so it's not so bad when they wear out, and you have to boy new ones.

I did this too when I was little, but I only did it while wearing socks, so only my socks wore out. My mum stopped buying me socks, and made me wear the holey ones. I eventually stopped because the holey socks were uncomfortable.

Or you could do like my dad, and just beat his ***. But I don't actually recommend that.
