At times Dwarfism can be hard to determine in new born children since they don't really differ from normal children. Some traits that are seen in Dwarfs are; having a larger head than kids their age and compared to their body. Although there is more than one form of Dwarfism, in one dwarfs tend to have certain facial complexion that are similar in all dwarfs of that type. Once they begin to grow, at times their legs tend to curve more than normal children, resulting in back problems in the future. Some Dwarfs suffer from slower learning and developmental issue. Besides the fact that they tend to grow no more than 4 ft, for the most part they live normal lives.
