[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears DS' growth in height has slowed down the last year or so, evident in both comparing to his friends and the height charts at Dr's office. I think he's developing a little bit of complexity over this - the other day he said to an acquaintance of mine that he's stopped growing when she told him how much he's grown since the last time she saw him. He also asked to be measured and commented the growth spur isn't happening. I assume the fact that his 9-yo brother is catching up on him in height is another factor. But there's really nothing we could do, other than encouraging exercise, good sleep, and healthy diet, right? I don't think we did anything differently over the last year when he grew less than an inch, versus few years back when he grow 2+ inches a year. Thoughts?[/quote]

His mom is saying he is crossing percentiles. Op did I misinterpret? Did he go from 50 to 25%, for exsmple?  If so, yes it may need further evaluation. A bone age is a good start to compare to chronological age.
