[quote=Anonymous]We took our newly minted 14 year old to the pediatrician for his annual check-up. While most of his friends are fully in puberty, some in the later stages and have attained nearly their adult heights, he's barely started. The pediatrician says he's in Tanner 1 or Tanner 1.5. She wants him to come back in six months to chart his progress. If he's still stalled in six months, she'll send him to a pediatric endocrinologist. She thinks the next step would be a bone scan but I guess that would be for the endocrinologist to say. He's 5' 3.5" so, while he's definitely on the shorter side, he isn't super tiny. He looks like such a child, though. And, he'll be going to high school in the fall. I know everyone is different. But, if your boy was delayed in the summer after 8th grade, any anecdotal stories on catching up?[/quote]
