[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three teens/tweens: 17 y/o daughter, 13 y/o son, 12 y/o daughter. My daughters are on the tall side my 17 y/o is 5'9 and the 12 y/o is 5'5. However, my 13 year old son is only 4'11. I'm 5'1 and DH is 6'3. My son hates that fact that his little sister is taller than him. I tried to explain to him that girls hit their growth spurt before boys do, but of course that doesn't make him feel any better. It doesn't help that my daughters are always picking him up like he's a baby (which he hates). What can I do to help boost my son's self esteem? I hate that this has him feeling down about himself.
