[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your child get enough outdoor time?
Humans are like plants. You need proper food and nutrients to grow and the sun helps. 
My son grew about 4 inches last year.  From 5 feet to 5'4 now. We measure him every birthday. The neighbor who is a year older at 12 is the same for the past few years, which is about 1 foot shorter than my son. He comes up to my son's shoulders now. Don't know what happened. The mother is about 5'7, much taller than me (I'm 5'2). The father is about 6 feet and my Dh is about 6 feet as well. 
Their other son is about 14 years old and he's a bit shorter than my son too.  The mom complaints they don't go outside much. It could be as much as once a week.

We don't see them often outside. When they do, you notice the difference. [/quote]

WTF?[/quote]

Hey…I was with her for the first couple sentences.  It makes sense maybe? Outside time and summer means more sleep and more vit D, and maybe that leads to more growth?  But then it took an incoherent turn..[/quote]
