OK, I know those on the "giant" thread don't mean to come across as stealth boasting, but I'm sure you are all secretly very pleased that your DSs tower above others and that you don't really mind having to buy new clothes or how much they eat.
Appreciate the fact that early growers have status amongst their peers, are more popular with the girls and get an unbelievable advantage in sports over the smaller boys, who often get left behind.
Yes, my DS is nearly 16, 5' 3", and probably doesn't even weigh 8 stone. He is one of the smallest in his year now and the effect on his confidence amongst his peers is huge. He hides it well, and is generally pretty happy, but I know.
The giants are the lucky ones!
