[quote=Anonymous]My stepson is 14 and about 4'8 or 4'9. The past two years he has only grown about 2 inches. In 2011 and 2012 he had the bone xray, but I suppose constitutional delay was not the diagnosis because I never heard anything about that. His pediatrician was concerned because he is, quote, "nowhere near puberty." I suspect he will just be a late bloomer. He is not only very short but VERY skinny. Just total skin and bones. My DH is 6'2, but was already well into his growth spurt at the age DSS is now. DSS's mom is not tall, so I suppose there's a chance he will max out at a very average height after hitting a late growth spurt. The problem is, in 9th grade, he is wanting to play certain positions in football that his size will just not allow. I don't think his size otherwise bothers him, but I know this does. [/quote]
