[quote=Anonymous]DS was super small at 13. Below 1st percentile in height and weight. WHich percentiles is your DS in? And yes, at 13 pediatrician was very concerned and we ended up at Georgetown for a pediatric endocrinologist. He was diagnosed with constitutional growth delay. He also had to start eating more, way more, as the lack of growth was connected to his not getting enough calories. He was also in sports a lot. Attended a tennis academy 3 hours per day, 5 times per week. If we acted sooner he would have been taller as his genetic potential and bone scan showed that his projected height was almost 6 feet. He ended up a bit shorter than 5'11". But, if your kid is average in height and weight, that is totally different nad likely nothing to worry about at all.[/quote]
