[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if there are certain tips to ensure kids can grow to their potential except gene. Do kids drink daily milk, eat certain diet, sleep certain hours, do certain sports tend to be taller? I see some girls develop as early as 3rd grader, but I also see girls are flat chested in middle school. I wonder if skinny plays an important part, not sure if it is starving or eat healthy. For boy, it is varies, some short MS boys can still grow a ton in high school. Not sure if exercises play more an important role in boys. [/quote]

I don’t think this can possibly matter, unless we are talking actual malnutrition.

My taller DS (6’2”) has a terrible diet (has always been super picky, and has never eaten much- even during his big growth spurt). Just not a good eater at all. Grew tall anyway.

My shorter DS (5’9”) has always been a great eater. Eats everything. Plays a lot of sports so took an interest in nutrition during his middle school years- makes sure to eat enough protein, veggies etc etc. But he is shorter (and at 16, I don’t think he will grow anymore)

There is no way eating habits can matter much, barring extremes. IMO. [/quote]
