When Should Parents Worry About Growth?
Many parents ask the same question: “Is my child’s height normal?” Here are some common signs that may mean it’s time to seek a medical opinion:
• Your child is significantly shorter than most classmates 📏
• Growth has slowed compared to previous years ⏳
• Puberty seems delayed compared to peers 🧒➡️👦
• Your pediatrician has raised concerns 🩺
Understanding Growth & Development
Not every child who is shorter than average has a medical problem. Growth patterns vary widely — some children are simply “late bloomers.” However, in certain cases, delayed growth may point to an underlying condition such as a growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
