To help your son cope with Klinefelter syndrome and promote healthy mental, physical, emotional and social development:
-- Learn what support is available, such as special education services.
-- Monitor your son's development carefully and seek help for problems you notice, such as trouble with speech or language.
-- Encourage participation in sports and physical activities that will help build muscle strength and motor skills.
-- Cooperate closely with your son's school. Teachers, school counselors and administrators who understand your son's needs can make a big difference.
-- Connect with other parents. Klinefelter syndrome is a common condition, and you - and your son - aren't alone. 
-- Encourage your son to be independent. Be supportive but not overly protective, and provide a home environment with lots of positive feedback.

Treatment in Western Medicine:
There's no way to change the XXY condition if a boy is born with it, but treatments can help relieve some of the symptoms. As with many conditions, beginning treatment early can greatly increase its effectiveness.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) works by increasing a boy's testosterone levels until they are within the normal range. Additional testosterone can help a boy with Klinefelter syndrome develop bigger muscles and a deeper voice, as well as promote growth of the penis and facial and body hair. It can also help improve bone density and reduce the growth of a boy's breasts. Testosterone therapy cannot increase the size of a boy's testicles or reverse infertility, however.

Educational support services can help boys and teens with Klinefelter syndrome keep pace in school. Many benefit from extra assistance when it comes to schoolwork. If your son has Klinefelter syndrome, let his teachers and school nurse know about his condition and see what kind of support is available. He may be eligible for an individualized education plan (IEP) or 504 education plan, which both can provide accommodations for kids with special needs.
