[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You've got me confused here. 10th percentile should be tracking to be 5'6", shouldn't it? The reason I know that is that it's my percentile and height. When I was your son's age I was 5th percentile height. I'm not sure that's what you want to hear, but I guess doubling percentile is good news?

My kids' mother was from a tall family like your husband. My younger son was 40th percentile at his 4 year old check up and was 66th percentile at his 6 year old check up. So, these things can change over time.[/quote]

He is 20m and 31 inches. The calculator I used put him at 5'4. 
I'm wondering if he may already have Constitutional growth delay which my siblings had and what age that would be tested? (it's usually a bone scan)
The reason his short height has become an issue is because he had another odd health concern with his teeth development and is getting tested for celiac soon, not sure if it is related. Trying to figure out if this is a medical reason or it's possible that is his natural curve. [/quote]
