[quote=Anonymous]My DS is newly 14 and entering as a freshman. He's 5'3.5" The ped estimated him in Tanner 1 or 1.5. If you aren't familiar with the puberty scale, you should do some reading. It's considered delayed puberty and is usually genetic. It's not the height that's at issue. It's the physical maturation. Overall, we are not concerned. Our next steps are a follow-up appt when he's 14.5 years old, which is December. If nothing has kicked started by then, he'll see a pediatric endocrinologist. This is just to rule out anything that *might* be an issue. His growth will follow it's natural course. [/quote]
