Dwarfism

Dwarfism is a condition where a person grows to be much shorter than most people. It happens because the person's body doesn't make enough of a special substance called growth hormone. This hormone helps the body make new cells and grow bigger muscles and bones.

People with dwarfism can be born with it, or it can happen later in life because of a medical condition. Sometimes, people with dwarfism have other health problems, like problems with their joints or organs.

Even though people with dwarfism are shorter than most people, they can still do everything that other people can do. They just might need to use special equipment or tools to reach things that are high up or to move around easier. It's important to treat people with dwarfism with respect and kindness, just like you would treat anyone else.
