[quote=Anonymous]DS is healthy and active, and while he's broadened out a bit in the past couple of years he hasn't really grown. He's 5'3", has put on about an inch a year for the past two years, and is constantly worried about being short, and he has been picked on at school for being smaller. Neither me (mom) nor his dad had a late puberty. We keep reassuring him that he'll grow taller (we're both taller than average) but I'm honestly not sure that he'll even clear 5'6" at this rate, if most boys stop growing around 16 as I've read. Would you mention it to the pediatrician or just wait and chill out? TIA.[/quote]
