Moms, if your son is always the shortest in his class and keeps asking why, “his time will come” can become harder to say and harder for him to hear. At first, you try not to worry. “He’ll catch up.” “His time will come.” But then the other kids start having their growth spurts… And he’s still smaller than most of his friends. He keeps talking about wanting his growth spurt so he can be big like his best friends. Maybe he’s heard comments about his height. Maybe he’s come home saying: “I am the shortest in the class.” And your heart breaks for him. You want to help if you can. You want to build his confidence. More than anything, you’d love to see him love his height. You don’t need another promise that he’ll catch up. You need help understanding how he’s growing and what boost his body’s height-growth system. Think of that system as several parts working together: his genes, nutrition, hormones, and the growth plates where his bones grow longer. Being the shortest doesn’t automatically mean something in that system is wrong. But understanding his growth starts with more than comparing him to his friends. The question isn’t only, “Is he smaller than his friends?” It’s, “Is he growing well for him?” You can boost his confidence now and get answers about his growth.
