[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 203802, member: 3907"] Kjs, I'm sorry that your difficult child is having such a tough time at school. Good for him for getting up the courage to tell you about the bullying, and way to go for getting it dealt with swiftly. With regard to the growth issue, some kids are late bloomers. My difficult child was always the short and very thin. He didn't start going through puberty until he was nearly 17, then he shot up, voice changed etc. practically overnight. Does your difficult child fall within the normal percentiles for height and weight? Has your doctor ever expressed concern with his growth over the years? I think Smallworld makes a very good point. If there's a concern that your difficult child will not reach an adult height that is within the normal limits, and that it will impair his ability to function as an adult, then it may be worth considering the treatments. Otherwise, it might be that his clock is just running a bit more slowly than some of his friends. [/QUOTE]
