[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs to have something to feel proud about. Whether it’s his athletic prowess, sports abilities or his sense of humor. There’s a reason a lot of short guys are very funny and interesting. They felt they had to be funny to get attention and then they really liked it.

[u]Don’t tell your son it’s okay or not so bad to be short. Tell him it’s okay to wish you were different.[/u] But he’s going to find that there’s plenty of things about him that are just as good or better than being tall. [/quote]

On a similar note, tell him not to exaggerate his height later in life.  My Ex is 5'8", and he always said he was 5'8".  I'm the same height.  So many men add inches, but what's the point?  We can all see it.  Friend's DH tells everyone he's 5'9", but he's shorter than I am.  So pointless.  It would be like me telling people I weigh 110 lbs.  (I'm a 6, so clearly more than 110 lbs at my height).  Or lying about my age, when it's pretty obvious.  We all wish we were (younger/thinner/taller/shorter/richer/smarter).  That's ok.[/quote]
