[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The energy from parents of short boys is unmatched. It is awful really. I get why they feel this way but the palpable angst about it is a lot. [/quote] I know in the scheme of things, it’s a huge blessing to just have a healthy kid, but in reality parents want their kids to have advantages. And for boys, height is a factor in that. Sports, dating, careers, etc, height is undeniably an advantage. Is it the only thing? No, of course not. But it’s something. When it’s *your* son who is the smallest in his class, even most of the girls are taller, who is trying to stay in a sport he loves but is a boy up against men, or is enduring regular comments and teasing, it’s tough. Your heart breaks for your kid.[/quote]
