When it comes to your child’s height, it’s not just about how tall they are compared to other kids. It’s about how they’re growing over time.
Some kids are naturally smaller and follow their own growth curve, and that may be completely normal. However, if your child suddenly drops percentiles or stops growing along their usual curve, it’s worth taking a closer look.
If you’re concerned about your child’s growth, talk to your pediatrician and ask questions. If you feel like your concerns aren’t being heard, keep advocating for your child.
