I use the term normal loosely, but am not sure what else to put!
DS1 is 12 and a half and in year 7. He is teeny tiny compared to his mates - 140cm tall and just gone into age 10 clothes. His friends seem massive and more like grown ups where as DS is very much a little boy.
I'm not sure if he's just a bit of a late starter, or if some of his friends are a bit early - some of them do seem particularly grown up.
He is getting increasingly upset at getting called 'midget' - he takes it very very seriously and thinks he will never grow. He is growing - he has grown 5cm in about a year. He also says there are others about his height, but that they are all the smallest and most of the others are bigger.
I am thinking of taking him to the GP, but don't want him to think I am making an issue of it, the GP say he is a late starter and him ending up feeling worse.
His voice hasn't broken, he doesn't sweat, has no new hairs (that I am aware of).
Advice please?!
