[quote=Anonymous]My son was 5.1 and 12-15 percentile as a freshmen. We saw an endocrinologist who measured bone age, which was delayed, and place in puberty, mid area, and predicted 5'11 plus adult height. As a sophomore he is 5'5, which is 27% and on a followup visit with another bonescan, less delayed and puberty measure, late stages, he is predicted 5'10 or below. So these predictions are questionable. The endocrinologist will be able to rule out hormore deficiency or thyroid issues. My son doesn't mind- happy to be taller than me. But it does mean he works hard to be mediocre at best in sports and that kids tend to think he's worse at sports then he is. But he's not friends with jocks so doesnt face size teasing outside his rec sports.[/quote]
