[quote=Anonymous]My 14-year-old son is shorter than most boys his age. His doctor said that he is projected to be about 5'7''. He has never had any social issues at school and plays sports, but my concern is that being shorter than his classmates in high school may affect him negatively in terms of self-confidence. He has mentioned to me that all of his friends are taller than him and is now trying to increase his height by working out, going to bed early, and drinking milk. I'm supportive of all of these things for health reasons, but I told him that they might not necessarily help him to get taller and that he doesn't need to be tall to be successful (it doesn't seem like he believes me).
