How do people grow?  Rodney S.  1st Grade?

First grade?  Let's keep this simple, then. :)\n\nYour body will take the food you eat and use it to make the bones longer, and your muscles bigger, and will add more weight so that you aren't too thin.\n\nGood question, Rodney!

Pound it with a hammer.  If you do this a few times a week for a few months it will grow.  Believe me.  It will.  Just do it!

I think you are about done growing. I grew early so I was the tallest in Jr. High, but then I stopped.

He probably had a larger 2nd growth spurt.  Males don't stop growing until their early to mid 20's.  So he just probably hit another growth spurt, which happened to be a big one.  And luckily he did, or he wouldn't be the greatest player as he is today.

Thats pretty funny. I have one too.\n\n\nA group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! \n \n"You need to use 'Big People' words," she was always reminding them. \n \nShe asked Chris what he had done over the weekend? "I went to visit my Nana." "No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words! \n \nShe then asked Mitchell what he had done. "I took a ride on a choo-choo." She said "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use 'Big People' words." \n \nShe then asked little Alex what he had done? "I read a book," he replied. "That's WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?" \n \n[You'll love this] \n \nAlex thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride and said, "Winnie the SH*T."

I don't beleive there is anything that can be taken to slow down growth.  In addition, it is very dangersous to use drigs to manipulate the natural growth process.\n\nLet the kid grow.  There may be some social problems to deal with, but that is life.\n\nMaybe he will become a famous basketball player.\n\nLeave the kid alone, and make him feel confortable with his size.\n\nBest of luck,\nJeffrey

Teach him to smoke cigarettes and drink lots of Coke. He will become an average US kid everybody seems to dream of nowadays. Start saving money for a wheelchair, if he is human of course. If he is a carnivorous plant, give him a bigger pot.

I didn't necessarily have my children later in life, but honey, we had the same issue with our oldest son.  We have five, one girl, already in college and four boys.  All the other children are tiny, but my oldest son inherited the genes from my father's side of the family.  Which means he'll have a thicker build and be extremely tall (My brother is 6'4", cousins as tall as 6'7")  My son is only 15 and he's already 6'0" and 195 lbs.  Because the kids started teasing him at an early age, he developed this shyness about him and just didn't want to socialize with anyone.  Which meant, he didn't want to go into sports or any other activities, much less school.  THis was his first year in high school and over the summer, we had to force him to join something (we did it with all our children...our logic was get into something before you get into trouble) and he chose a summer football program.  He hated it at first because he didn't know anyone and was rather shy.  But within that first week, he had a ton of friends.  Because of his size, the coaches loved him, as did the quarterback in which he protected.  It's as if I have a different child.  All of a sudden, he became outgoing, the girls started calling and football is his life.  Before I knew it, he was begging to sign up for football when school started.  He already knew most of the kids from the summer program and because of his size, he knew he'd fair pretty well.  And as it was, he did.  He now loves school.  I can barely keep him home and for once...he's truly happy.  I felt horrible when this all started, so I feel your pain, but sometimes parents have to look outside the box, set our emotions aside and think about this logically.  If your son is tall, try signing him up for a basketball camp in your local area.  If anything, at least he'll meet other kids his own size who have the same issues...and  maybe it'll carry over.  The idea is to get him out there and sometimes that takes a little shove.  I know he's your baby and as a parent it's hard to do...but you have to ask yourself...what's harder?  Watching him so upset and depressed...or watching him smile while he relates with others that have gone through the same thing as him?  And if he's not sports enthused...find something else honey.  Kids today have so many options available to them.  But it is IMPERATIVE that you find something for him, and I do mean that.  Being a teenager is hard enough.  Being a teenager with no friends is suicidal.  I don't want to scare you, but not ony am I a mom...I'm a social worker and I see it alot.  It's the little things that make a difference to them and although I know you want to make him happy, he needs to find some happiness in himself too!\n\nI wish you luck!

cut down on junk food. just bike everyday for about 15 minutes. you cant make yourself grow tall. no food can make you grow taller than you are supposed to. but as long as your are not starving you will grow to full height.

It is not something passed on from parents. I learned how at summer camp. I met this Puerto Rican who couldn't roll her R's and her mother (Both parents are Puerto Rican) taught her by having her repeat the word butter over and over again. So, I did that for a week and I am now able to roll my R's.

We are part of a charter program that is web based and we love it. We still have standardized testing, and the younger grades print most of their stuff out early on so they learn to write well. \nAs far as socialization…I laugh at all the misconception people have of home schooled children. My kids have activities every evening since we are home during the day and can handle doing more. They are in scouts (through our church), competitive dance, Tae kwon do, soccer, art classes, and piano lessons-all activities with a mixture of different children. They are learning to be compassionate, empathetic people with very high self esteem. \nYou have to look at your goals for your child’s education. For every un-socialized home schooled child, there is a public school child with very low self esteem from being bullied. Who has the harder time adjusting into society?
