[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP- I know it can be hard to see our kids disappointed and not be able to do anything to help. My own son is looking like he is going to end up smaller than we would’ve expected (and smaller than his dad) so I get it. Based on what you described, I’d assume in your mind that he is done growing, and if he does squeak out another inch or 2 consider it a pleasant surprise. I think height (particularly at 5’6”-5’8”) is really not that big of a deal overall- even for men- but it seems like such a big deal for high school sports and can be so disappointing for teen boys. Lots of threads about this. One thing I will say: as long as his sport is not basketball, height isn’t necessarily THE deciding factor for sports. Being so far through puberty, he should have a big advantage over some of the other boys in terms of strength and building muscle- even if those boys are taller. He should shift focus to strength, lifting weights, building muscle etc [/quote]
