Default Is my son TOO SHORT for his age?

"sheenna" wrote in message alkaboutparenting.com...
my son will be 6 on Dec4 and is only in the 30% percentile for his age. He has always been around 50% or so now it seems like he's not growing.


Are you and/or your son's dad short? Some people have to be at the
30th percentile; some have to be at the 20th percentile; some have to
be at the 90th, etc.

You can't think about "too short" but "too short for _him_". That is,
if there is not actually a health problem that is preventing him from
growing, then he is the right height *for him*.

I come from a short family. It happens. . .
