[quote=Anonymous]My son was fairly short and it bothered him too. Not what you are talking about (mine was in 35%), but he was the shortest in his friend group. He's 14 now and sprouted a bit, but he still has some super-short friends. They are now all into weight lifting. So the recommendation to do martial arts or something similar is a helpful one for self esteem. Guys are very into body image right now too (which I get isn't super healthy, either), but if your son is interested in lifting and getting in shape in that regard, that's something that can be done at any height. And there is a confidence that comes from exercise and being fit. I wouldn't say, hey, let's get you to the gym to build some muscle. I'd approach it (if he has interest) in adding more fitness to your lifestyles. [/quote]
