Knock Knees

Please don't answer if you don't know !

My grandson is three. He is amazing. Since he was born he has been a force of nature and can do and will attempt anything you throw at him.
He has knock knees.
It has not stopped him from running or jumping or riding his bike, swimming or climbing.
My daughter is a bit worried and has an appointment at the doctor's.
I think he will grow out of it.
Has anyone else come across this in their child and if so - what did you do if anything and did the child grow out of it

Thanks

Well I must say thanks for all the help. Methinks too many folks on the Jamie and Jools thread......

Simple google search shows most kids with knock knees correct by 6 or 7 years

My DS is 5 and Ive worried about his knees with the same issue but several healthcare professionals including consultants have looked at them (relating to other developmental issues) and Ive asked them about it but they have all said they are normal and will correct as he grows.

No need for the snarky attitude OP. Give people a chance.

Thank you. This is what I think also.

I already did the googling bit thanks. I was asking for advice from people with personal experience, but thanks for your input anyway.
