It doesn’t mean anything is wrong.  There are posts at least weekly here about a mom wondering why her son is so short and what endocrinologist to see. The vast majority 
of short kids don’t have a medical problem.

Good luck ruling things out, but don’t be at all surprised if there is nothing wrong. [/quote]

If you are average height at 5'4 and your husband is 5'8 I would expect your son to be short. If you average your heights, you get 5'6...It would probably take a miracle or for you both to come from tall families for your child to be as tall as your husband. I would be concerned for my child from a social standpoint for my child, but I also think you may need to accept that there is nothing wrong with your son. [/quote]

What? That is not how it works. From the average of mom and dad you add 2-3 inches for boys and subtract 2-3 inches for girls. 
If Op is 5’4” and dad is 5’8” they don’t should be 5’8”-5’9” and their daughter should be 5’4”-5’3”[/quote]

Man I wish....mom 5'8'' dad 5'11''. Im barely 5'4'' my two brothers are 5'7'' and 6'3''.  :lol:  Genes are funny. We all have different colored hair and different colored eyes. Dirty blonde with blue, reddish blond with brown, and dark brown with green. [/quote]
