[quote=Anonymous]Height concerns should be discussed with your kid’s pediatrician especially if your kid stops growing (height and feet) or falls off their growth curve. Don’t just atttibute slow growth to late puberty. I made that mistake after my son (who always tracked over 50 percentile) didn’t grow for over a year. I thought we were also measuring incorrectly and his growth stopped just after an annual checkup. The pediatrician almost didn’t catch it a year later until I brought it up at the end of sons checkup, then pediatrician sent him for a growth hormone blood test which showed a significant deficiency! Fast forward one year later (waiting for endocrinologist checks then tests then more tests) and my son just started growth hormone supplementation—very expensive and may not be totally effective because he was diagnosed so late.[/quote]
