New Parents to do

What can I do if I am a new parent?

If you are a new parent of a child with dwarfism or a friend or family member, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are parents, friends and family members just like you. Chances are we had the same questions and concerns that you have right now. We make it our priority to make sure that you have someone to speak with, the opportunity to get information and an ear to listen. Contact us through this website or at james@understandingdwarfism.com

Speaking to someone and getting answers will get you on the right track more quickly and allow you to spend your precious time enjoying your new family member rather than spending it wondering. Welcome to your new beginning!

UNDERSTANDING DWARFISM

Educating the world one person at a time

Understanding Dwarfism is a program dedicated to changing the world’s perception of a group of people who throughout history have been miss understood and stigmatized because of their profound short stature.

Our hopes are that through education, understanding and awareness people will begin to see persons with dwarfism for their positive contributions to society - equally capable and deserving of a life free of stereotypes and equal to that of any other.

Get a unique perspective of how people with dwarfism see the world and what they want you to know. Understand their challenges, their contributions, and find out how much you really have in common with someone you might think is much different than you.
