Parents inquire about a 2-year-and-9-month-old boy’s height of 89 cm, worrying that the child is shorter than his peers. Pediatricians explain that, according to normal weight standards, the child’s height falls within the normal range, and growth rate slows down after 2 years of age until puberty when it picks up again. Doctors suggest that without allergies or genetic history, there is no need to be overly concerned, but regular checks of growth hormone levels and iron supplementation can be considered. If necessary, hospital tests and consultations can be arranged.
