I have a male child without ears. Is it possible to attach ears to him. He is 3 years old

[@Thebeezzkneezz.]

Why would you want to change him Ears aren't like arms or legs he was born that way you should teach him to be proud of who he is instead of trying to hide his "deformity" "fake ears" would probably only make him feel ashamed of his natural "ears" when he's older.. It's different cuz he's a child and she's a adult you will hurt his self esteem. Maybe Just grow his hair longish if you don't want ppl staring and being rude But attaching ears on a child of any age sounds like a disaster waiting to happen 😅 prime target for bullies, especially if its detachable, theyd probably throw it around like monkey in the middle 🥺😂 (should wait till he's older anyway if he chooses to get them cuz he'd grow out of his ears quickly)

@@Thebeezzkneezz. Hey, you're being quite ignorant here.. We all get to pick and choose our battles in life, the kid is going to have life goals and interests, his life doesn't _have_ to revolve around having to deal with learning to love his auricular region's appearance exactly the way it is. A prosthesis can make certain situations easier, when your ear is not the first thing you want to be noticed about you. It may help with self esteem and allow you to just move on with life. Good thing.

@@Thebeezzkneezz. Key is to keep paying attention to how the kid feels about it and use that as the main guidance, don't be selfish. But sure, 3 year old might be early. But around age 6-7 could be appropriate, as soon as he's able to begin to learn to take care of it himself.
