[quote=Anonymous][quote]My son turned 14 in April and while he grew a lot this year (3 inches), he's still on the shorter side (5'4") with no change to his voice yet. I know he feels uncomfortable being behind his friends, but his pediatrician said that he's just at the very beginning puberty now. My husband didn't go through puberty until 15 1/2 so I think my son will just be a late bloomer. I know it's easier to worrying, but some kids just do things in their own time. Why is that on the short side for a 14-year-old? Doesn't seem on the short side at all. My DS was way below 5' at 13, heck he was like a second grader! He is almost 6' at 22.[/quote] It's on the shorter side in that it is somewhat below average, but it's not extremely short. I don't see anything inaccurate in what the OP said. That was my son's exact height at that age, and he was 42nd or 43rd percentile, if I recall.[/quote]
