[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone has to be the 3%.

It doesn’t mean anything is wrong.  There are posts at least weekly here about a mom wondering why her son is so short and what endocrinologist to see. The vast majority 
of short kids don’t have a medical problem.

Good luck ruling things out, but don’t be at all surprised if there is nothing wrong. [/quote]

This.  Being short isn’t a medical problem and doesn’t need fixing.  As PP said, some kids will be 99% and some will be 1%[/quote]

Seriously!  This “let’s pathologize everything” bs is going too far. 
We are a short family - both my husband and I are 5’4” and my kids are on track to be the same. This is life. Deal with it. [/quote]

NP here. I’m shorter than you are and I’d take a couple of inches in height if they were handing it out for free. Would both you and your husband choose to stay 5’4” if you could change it? I’m not saying I’d do growth hormones but I wouldn’t mind being taller. [/quote]
