Zach Roloff Assists His Son with Dwarfism During Tough Times
‘Little People, Big World’: Zach Helps His Son Work Through Dwarfism Differences
Zach Roloff shines in this heartwarming parenting moment.
The Little People Big World star is a father of three – Jackson, 6, Lilah, 4, and Josiah, 1, with his wife Tori. As their children grow older, Zach and Tori are navigating the challenges of raising children with achondroplasia, the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism which Zach also has.
In an exclusive clip from the TLC show’s March 12 episode, Zach assists his eldest son in coping with a difficult situation while playing soccer with his friends.
“Jackson is reaching an age where the size differences are becoming more noticeable, and he’s not catching up,” Zach said in a confessional, after Jackson is seen sitting on the sidelines while his friends continue to play. He added, “Some of the kids on the opposing team point out that he’s different, and he’s starting to hear that for the first time.”
Tori then elaborated in a separate confessional that during a recent game, some players on the opposing team told her son he was too short to play. As Zach mentioned, since Jackson is their oldest child, this is the first time the parents have had to guide their children through these situations, and Zach understands that his reaction as a father is crucial.
