I have a little question, how tall are your kids? My 13 year old son is extremely short for his age and measures only 4'2"! The 2nd grader at church he helps, are as tall, or taller than him... My dd on the other hand is average, at 4'6".

My (newly) 14 year old is quite a bit taller than I expected him to be thus far...he's 5'11 which means he's about an inch taller than me and 4 inches taller than his dad!!!!

I have a tall one and a short one.

My 13 yo ds is about 5'8". He's not even the tallest in his class. The grade the year younger is full of very tiny boys, many are nowhere near 5' tall. The span in middle school is staggering.

My 10.5 dd is about 4'5" and she fights it out with another girl for shortest in the grade. However at gymnastics she's totally average.

My 10 yo DD is 5'1". I am only 5'2" but my DH is 6'5".

If you are concerned about your son’s growth I would definitely have some tests done. My family is small my dad is 5'7" my mom is 5'4" so when my brother was always small they didn't worry until our ped suggested testing. It turned out my brother had a deficiency of HGH (human growth hormone) and he needed daily shots for a year or so to help him grow to his full potential 5'8". My brother was in middle school when he took these shots, so I don't know if there is a time window for optimally correcting this or not. But definitely follow up if it’s concerning you.
