Once again, Little People, Big World are worried about Jackson Roloff.
Earlier this week, Tori Roloff shared a video on Instagram of her kids dancing around their living room.
It was cute, it was endearing… and it also featured the aforementioned six-year old looking like this at one point:
Tori Roloff is such a great mother. Here she is with her three children.
As you can tell, Jackson’s feet are splayed. Or bowed. He’s dancing around on the outsteps of this body part, prompting many viewers to express concern.
“I’m so nervous for Jackson’s legs!!” one person commented, for example.
“He’s walking on the sides of his feet it seems. Poor baby!!” another added.
A third seemed confused and even a bit accusatory, writing as a remark: “Not meant to be rude or ugly, but why can’t Jackson’s legs be straightened.”
Happily celebrating 8 years of marriage, Tori Roloff and Zach Roloff pose with kids Jackson Roloff, Lilah Roloff, and Josiah Roloff in this July 25, 2023 photo.
This isn’t the first time such an issue has been raised.
Like his dad and his paternal grandparents, Jackson was born with Achondroplasia, a condition that comes with certain physical deformities — one of the most notable of which is bowed legs.
In May, viewers of a similar video posted by Jackson’s mom also commented on his legs.
About six months earlier, Jackson underwent a procedure on these lower extremities, which came in the wake of Zach Roloff admitting to fans:
“It’s the beginning, I think, of a long journey.”
Zach and Tori Roloff pose here for two of their kids as part of a TLC promotional campaign.
Added Zach in the wake of this latest surgery, referencing his oldest child:
“He’s good. It’s tough because the screws in his legs help straighten the leg as he grows.
“Well for him, he maybe grows [an] inch a year so it’s tough to see and won’t be obvious for a while.
“[An] Average person with the same surgery, you would see the difference a lot quicker.”

Thankfully, Achondroplasia does not affect one’s mental capacity or one’s life span.
But Matt Roloff underwent over 15 surgeries as a child, mostly for his back.
There’s a strong likelihood that Jackson will continue to battle physical obstacles just like his sister, dad and grandparents as he gets older.
But he appears to be a happy child and, in terms of any true long-term sense and/or severity, a relatively healthy child.
We’ve seen plenty of social media photos of Jackson playing basketball and soccer, the latter of which being a sport his dad (again, with the same condition) excels at as an adult.
Zach and Tori Roloff, who we absolutely adore, are featured in this confessional from Little People, Big World.
In October of 2019, Tori shared her “biggest challenge” as a mom to a little person in regard to her firstborn.
“I think my biggest fear is him being treated younger than he is.
“He is completely capable, and I never want him to think he can’t do something because I do it for him,” she wrote to a fan on Instagram.
“Now being even more ingrained in the dwarf community, I’ve seen so many kids that are struggling when they’re young, and we lucked out with [Jackson].”

In the entertainment industry, community engagement is more than just an afterthought—it’s a dynamic force that amplifies storytelling and creates lasting fan connections. By cultivating spaces where fans can interact, speculate, and create, filmmakers and creators fuel a continuous conversation that extends the life of their work well beyond the screen. Here’s how strategic community engagement ignites passion, deepens loyalty, and fosters a vibrant fan ecosystem.
The Power of Official Forums
Official forums serve as dedicated hubs for fan interaction, giving audiences a place to gather, theorize, and discuss their favorite films, shows, and characters. By providing this centralized platform, creators can directly engage with their most loyal fans, encouraging deeper conversations and helping shape the ongoing discourse around their content.
Forums also offer a unique opportunity for creators to listen in on audience reactions, spot emerging trends, and adjust marketing or storytelling strategies accordingly. These spaces often become the birthplace of fan-driven initiatives, such as organizing watch parties or launching creative fan projects, further strengthening the sense of community.
Social Media as a Real-Time Engagement Tool
Social media is a powerful real-time engagement tool, allowing creators to interact instantly with fans during key moments. Live-tweeting during new episodes or film premieres creates a collective viewing experience, allowing fans from all over the world to share their immediate reactions. This sense of shared excitement builds buzz and encourages more people to join the conversation.
In addition, Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) sessions with creators, cast members, or key production figures give fans the chance to ask burning questions and gain behind-the-scenes insights. These events fuel ongoing speculation and can provide fresh material for fan theories, keeping the excitement alive between releases.
Showcasing fan art and fan creations on official channels is another effective way to encourage participation. Highlighting fan contributions not only rewards their creativity but also inspires others to contribute, strengthening the connection between fans and the story world.
The Immersive World of ARGs
Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) take fan engagement to the next level by blurring the lines between fiction and reality. These immersive experiences unfold across multiple platforms—websites, social media, real-world locations—creating an interactive narrative where fans must work together to solve puzzles or uncover hidden content. ARGs build an intense sense of camaraderie and community, as players unite to explore the story in ways that go far beyond the original narrative.
For instance, clues hidden in cryptic tweets, emails sent to fans, or real-world scavenger hunts all add to the mystique of the world, pulling fans deeper into the experience. ARGs often provide new layers of the story, revealing plot points or character details that aren’t covered in the main content, thus giving dedicated fans a richer, more nuanced view of the narrative.
Creating Exclusive Fan Experiences
For fans deeply invested in a story, exclusive experiences can be a major draw. Virtual set tours allow fans to go behind the scenes, giving them a peek into the filmmaking process and making them feel like insiders. This sense of inclusion fosters loyalty and excitement.
Character takeovers on social media—where a beloved character “controls” the account for a day—add an interactive layer of storytelling, giving fans a fresh perspective and a chance to engage directly with their favorite characters. Likewise, exclusive sneak peeks or early-access content for fans who’ve shown exceptional dedication can reward their loyalty and generate anticipation for future releases.
Leveraging User-Generated Content
User-generated content (UGC) is a powerful way to extend the life of any story. When fans create their own interpretations through fan fiction, fan art, or cosplay, it deepens their connection to the source material and keeps the narrative alive in the cultural conversation. Hosting fan fiction contests or cosplay competitions provides a structured way for creators to celebrate this creativity, while also amplifying it within the broader community.
By sharing intriguing fan theories or insightful fan-made analyses on official channels, creators can ignite even more discussion, helping to spread excitement and encourage others to contribute their ideas. This kind of participation fosters a sense of ownership among fans, making them feel like a true part of the world they love.
The Role of Community Managers
The community manager plays a vital role in nurturing this engagement. A skilled community manager acts as a bridge between fans and creators, guiding conversations to keep them productive and positive. They moderate discussions, handle fan concerns, and ensure that the space remains inclusive and welcoming.
In times of controversy or heated debates, community managers can diffuse tensions and address concerns, helping to maintain a healthy, thriving environment where fans feel heard and respected. By paying close attention to the mood and trends within the fanbase, community managers can also offer valuable feedback to the creators, helping shape future content decisions based on what resonates most with the audience.
Measuring Community Health
To gauge the success of these engagement efforts, creators must monitor key metrics that reflect the health of their community. Engagement levels—such as the number of comments, shares, and likes on social posts—offer a glimpse into how actively the audience is participating. However, it’s not just about quantity; sentiment analysis can reveal the overall tone of fan interactions, whether it’s excitement, frustration, or something else.
Tracking retention rates helps measure how long fans remain engaged after joining the community. A high retention rate suggests that fans feel invested over the long term, signaling deep, sustained engagement rather than fleeting interest.
Tapping into Collective Enthusiasm
By building and maintaining spaces for fan interaction, creators tap into a wellspring of collective enthusiasm and creativity. These community-driven initiatives not only enhance the audience’s immediate experience but also foster a lasting relationship with the work. In an era where social media, ARGs, and user-generated content amplify the impact of every story, engaging directly with fans can turn a single project into a cultural phenomenon that thrives long after the initial release.
In short, community engagement is no longer optional—it’s a crucial part of modern storytelling, fueling conversations and connections that can extend a project’s life indefinitely.
