I agree. Help him accept and love who he is now. Growth hormones, hanging every night, and pumping him full of meat and milk in the hope that he might get one more inch sends him the message that his health doesn't matter and that he is not good enough the way he is. ( In addition to the physical and psychological effects of all that!)

In the real world, as adults, height does not affect your life re: employment and success. And as for a partner, there is a lid for every pot. [/quote]

x1000. I wouldn't indulge this very much. A few minutes of sympathetic listening to worries, then shut it down. Your message should be: We don't know what will happen, so there's no use worrying about this, especially as there is absolutely nothing to worry about here--there is nothing wrong with being 5'6".

I'd treat this very much like a desire for a pony. Yep, ponies are nice. In a perfect world, we'd all have ponies. Nope, not going to feel sorry for you because you don't have one.[/quote]
