Your child is at a brief stage, which means that they are developing slowly.

      Shortness is the fact that children are less tall, slowly growing or have a growth rate of less than the 3rd percentile compared to the standard growth curve of children of the same age and sex. The cause of the shortness may not be due to the disease, but rather to a condition or disorder in any part of the body. Nowadays, it's possible to tell if your child is seen as "short".

• In comparison to the identically aged pregnant siblings, your child seems little.
• Your child is smaller than your peers of the same age.
• There is a decrease in the growth rate based on the growth graph, or no growth at all.
• The height is below the bottom line of the growth graph based on the gender and age of the child.
