[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is short and will be short as an adult (genetics). He stopped his sport at the end of 7th grade and didn't do anything in 8th grade. He grew 4 inches that year because he got so much sleep. I will never again allow him to do so much that he isn't getting enough sleep. It isn't worth it. He will never be enough of an athlete, musician, etc to get the type of recognition that colleges want to see.[/quote] Seriously? You think he grew because he got more sleep?[/quote] Approximately 75% of the human growth hormone is produced during sleep so it is quite possible that kids and teens not getting enough sleep or not getting enough sleep when your body produces the hormone (about an hour after you first fall asleep) can exhibit growth issues. [/quote] It did not make a difference if 4 inches in a year; a year in which, coincidentally, many kids have a growth spurt. That is ridiculous.[/quote]
