Any function object that is a class attribute defines a method for instances of that class. It is not necessary that the function definition is textually enclosed in the class definition: assigning a function object to a local variable in the class is also ok.
Most children are born with very little arch in the feet. As they grow and walk, the soft tissues along the bottom of the feet tighten, which gradually shapes the arches of the feet. Children with flexible flatfoot often do not begin to develop an arch until the age of 5 years or older. Some children never develop an arch. If flexible flatfoot continues into adolescence, a child may experience aching pain along the bottom of the foot. A doctor should be consulted if a child's flatfeet cause pain.
You should see a podiatrist if: 1  Your child complains of pain in the feet, ankle, knees or legs or develops a limp. 2  Your child has not developed an arch by 4 years old. 3  Your child has only one foot that is flat. 4  You notice abnormal wear patterns on your childâs shoes.
