  However, she is still in-toeing a lot. The mom is concerned that she will grow up and not be able to wear high heels or walk down the stairs without tripping and falling.

   2. She will not outgrow this now. It usually resolves by the time children are 8 or 9 years of age, so only surgery will correct this now..
   3. She will never be able to play running sports..
   4. She should try gymnastics since she is so flexible..
