[quote=Anonymous]I can empathize. My 9th grader is not terribly small at 5’8 but is going through lots of growth spurts right now. He’s probably grown 3 inches since the start of school and suddenly seems uncoordinated. Rather than feeling good about his height, he’s completely discouraged and constantly getting small injuries like a rolled ankle when he trips over himself. He’s saying he may not want to continue with sports since there are so many bigger, faster and developed. He’s not going to be over 6 feet with our genes. It’s tough to watch and try to be encouraging. He switched from depressed to angry. [/quote]
