[quote=Anonymous]OP, maybe it's genetics, maybe it's not. I would take him to a pediatric endocrinologist to have them check. Pediatricians may not necessarily have the expertise to check everything. I took my son, and my friend took hers. Her doctor told her that it was genetics. Ped Endoc determined it was more than that, and his growth curve went from predicted under 5'5" to over 5'8". In our son's case we found out it's delayed puberty, he's just super slow. (Bone age at 16 is same as 13.5 yr old, he'll finish growing in his early 20s). Meanwhile follow the advice of the other PPs, but don't totally rule out checking the medical angle. I can highly recommend Dr. Akhtar. I also know that Children's has good ones on staff. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/profiles/details/yasmin-akhtar [/quote]
