We usually do not develop arches until around age three or four, and sometimes the arch won’t be detectable until first grade.
Instead, young kids have a large pad of fat where the arch would normally be, which protects their feet from injury.
If they do have pediatric flat foot, their IS good news. They don't have to suffer the same pain that you might be, especially when it is caught at a young age.
