Well when i was born i was completely normal. but when i got to the age of 4 i found out i am super flexible! i can bring my legs over my head i can just natrally do all 3 splits without stretcing. I can go into a bridge and walk my hands toward my feet until my head touches my butt. I've never taken ballet, contortion classes, or gymnastics in my life is this normal?

    yes its normal.

    Its called double jointedness.
    It can run in families.

    Like avant-Garde said it can be a symptom of genetic syndromes BUT those usually run in the family and you will know of at least one person who has it.

    usually there will be other problems - eye prolems [short sighted, stigmatisms] cleft palettes, hearing problems and such. not always but usually.

    But this is normal.

    how do i know.
    Cause my famiy have this trait =D

    my grnadmother can [could] put her fett behind her onto her shoulders, and i have doublejointed hips and shoulders [[and index fingers for some odd reason]]

    It depends...

    You could be hyper flexible or have a connectivity issue like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
    I think you should look it up or see a geneticist to make sure....

    Normal

    At a young age people aren't fully developed yet so their bodies can do things adults can't. But they only can do them afterwards(as an adult) if you keep doing the same thing your body will grow accustom to it.

    I can bend my thumb into a right angle cause I use to bend my thumb on tables as a child. Yes and no when it comes to being family related but only to a certain extent as mine is not family related but yours could be.
