This is a continuation from my last post. Clara is six years old but she is 1’5” tall and 18 pounds because of her dwarfism.

When we go out, this could be to the store, on a trip, etc. At 1'5", Clara quickly gets worn out trying to keep up with us if she is walking, even when we slow down for her. Normally we just put her in a baby carrier,or put her in a kiddie stroller. But she has started to complain about it because she is six years old and wants to be independent, she doesn't want to be carried around or placed in a stroller, so what should we start doing when she gets worn out when she's out with us?

And when she is walking around, especially in public. People aren’t expecting a tiny little toddler sized six year old at times. Is there something she could have/where/hold to be more noticeable, a few time is it she has gotten bumped into out in public because she wasn’t seen.

any ideas on how she can be able to reach the door knobs and open/close them by yourself? The handles on the doors are too high for her, plus Clara isn’t strong enough to open or close them.

If anybody has any ideas that would be awesome. I know Clara wants her independence, and I am having trouble coming up with ideas.

I think a stand up trolley that Clara could stand up on whilst being pushed might be ideal but I can't find anything like that. Not a wheelchair/pushchair but a funky fun thing that folds up when not being used. I have seen children with balloons attached to their wrists so they can be easily spotted. Or a flashing headband - huge choice of fun items a lot of young...

Barsel, something like a flag would probably be a better option. With the balloon, it could pop or get snagged on something. I would want to make the flag look both cute and also like a warning message or something.
No easy answers but it might be worth following this link and contacting the support on offer - https://rgauk.org/information-for-parents
Google custom-made flags. Choose Clara's favourite colour and whatever else you can have on it, then a warning like ''Look out, Look out, Clara's about.'' Hope you find something that will help.

Barsel, thank you. I will do that.

Would you have any input in my most recent post under Home and Gordon?

Maybe I missed your comment so if I did I apologize. But I feel like you would have a great impact, here is the link to that post:

People have suggested reaching out to groups, I will do that however I wanted to get your opinion in the meantime.
