Do your kids (or a kid you know) seem short for their age????

3rd week of September is Growth Awareness Week. A project I am involved in. I grew up with hypopituitary dwarfism so this is important to me. I am not selling anything, but offering up a resource and advise for you and a child.
There are so many things from not so serious to very serious things that can affect a childs growth. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

No. Mine are tall. I spend a fortune on shoes and groceries. My 13yo wears a 13 shoe, and regularly cleans out my fridge.

It's amazing the things you start to paying attention to and learn when you have kids. Keep up the good work sparky!

If anybody needs info let me know or you want advice. I am very thankful my son is growing normaly, but the care today is so much better than when I delt with it as a kid.

No kidding. 16 yo here is about the same.

My daughter was preemie and they told us she'd be small, but she's passed up mom by an inch or so now, we're glad.

Most kids that I know who were small, have now grown well and appear ok. Thanks for the information Sparky!

This is the week. Anyone want to turn in a flyer to their school nurse for me?

Good cause.

My two are fine. My 4 year old is in the 65th percentile range, and my 6 year old has always been in the 95+ percentile range. My 6 year old is 4'2", the tallest in his 1st grade class, and as tall as 2nd and third graders.
