[quote=Anonymous]My thirteen-year-old DS has been in the 25 percentile for height and 10-15 percentile for weight his whole life and does not appear to have entered puberty yet. At his most recent check-up, the doctor said he expected my son would be late to go through his growth spurt, but ultimately would reach at least the 50 percentile for height. (This speculation supposedly is based on the doctor's observation of my son's "build" and his dad's height.) I assumed that having been consistently in the lower percentiles his entire life, it wouldn't really be likely or possible for him to jump to a significantly higher percentile. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks -- my son has seized on this, and I wonder how realistic it is. . . [/quote]
