[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 204528, member: 439"] Kjs - on the height thing, both my sons were "late bloomers". Especially my younger one. He was always the shortest boy (and often kid) in the class. He really didn't start puberty until age 15. When his brother got married, he grew over an inch from the initial tux fitting to the wedding a month later! While my family is extremely short (I'm the tallest at 5'4") my oldest has finished off at 5'11" and younger is around 5'9" but I think he's still got more to go. When did your son get his first tooth? I've often heard that's a good "predictor" of when puberty will hit. Both of mine were toothless until they were 13 months old. On the homework front, I wish I had something to offer, but we're still fighting this battle with NL. First quarter was over a week ago Friday - I'm waiting to see the report card because he swears he handed in all his work this time. If he did, it will be the first time in eleven years. Homework just has too many steps - hear it assigned, bring stuff home, do it, get it back in the bookbag, get it back to school, hand it in - to be successful in. Since his father won't allow him to be "labeled" ADD, we've never been able to get accomodations officially in place, although I have worked personally with receptive teachers over the years.
