[quote=Anonymous]Our oldest will be 16 in a few months. He was in the same boat as your son a year ago. All of a sudden a few months ago he started to get taller and taller. In the meantime, we continued to have conversations about his feelings about being “shorter” and also avoiding comparisons and how truly it’s hard to know what everyone will end up looking like (or how tall) in the next year or so. We didn’t know how much more he would grow, so the focus wasn’t on that but more on validating his experience and emphasizing how truly everyone is unique. The home environment and the messages he got I think kept him somewhat confident as he was dealing with “being the shortest…”[/quote]
