[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is short and will be short as an adult (genetics). He stopped his sport at the end of 7th grade and didn't do anything in 8th grade. He grew 4 inches that year because he got so much sleep. I will never again allow him to do so much that he isn't getting enough sleep. It isn't worth it. He will never be enough of an athlete, musician, etc to get the type of recognition that colleges want to see.[/quote]

Seriously?  You think he grew because he got more sleep?[/quote]

I am not the PP, but believe growth is related to sleep. I am homeschooled my son who was in 5th grade last year because I had to frequently travel to another country to help my parents. My 5th grade son wanted to come because he has several cousins his age. My 7th grade son  wanted to stay in school so ended up not get a lot of sleep due to sports and homework. My 5th grade son slept in everyday and went from waking up at 6:30 or 7 to waking up at 9.  By the end of the school year, my fifth grader had grown 3 to 4 inches ended up almost as tall as his brother. [/quote]
