Q: good day my 3 year old daughters middle toes rest on top of her big toe is that something to worry about?

: Yes. This is something you cannot ignore. A foot deformity like this at this age MUST be addressed immediately. Please see a podiatrist or orthopedic foot and ankle who see and treat children. It’s possible conservative treatment can be achieved for corrections however surgical intervention might be required at this age
