[quote=Anonymous]PP gave you great advice. I'm still in the thick of it, but I have two smaller sons, one who is extremely small but athletic and the other who small and not athletic. My experience has been that my athletic son's small stature made him a standout when he was young, because I people always noticed him and his ability. However, it became a big problem in middle school, much more so than I was expecting. When other boys reached puberty and he didn't, he feel behind athletically. It hit him like a ton of bricks and made him doubt himself in every area of his life. We probably could have done more to have kept him in a more healthy sporting environment, because that was a difficult time. My other son, whose confidence depends less on athletic endeavors, has never had an issue with his smaller stature. Just encourage them to be the best they can be and keep an eye out for problems.
