[quote=Anonymous]My son is almost 12 and is below the line for height. He is crazy short. He gets upset too and we sympathize - there isn't anything to do and it's nice for him to know we are on his side - it is hard. Especially for boys. But, we do teach him some things to say that make him feel better - I'd like the adult menu for example, is one that heads off the inevitable kids menu with crayons. He also asks for his drink in a real glass to avoid kids cup with plastic straw. When he meets new people, he tries to figure out a way to say his age or grade so that others know - it's really harder for strangers - his friends know how old he is but he hates when a stranger assumes he is many years younger.[/quote]
