| Short stature : A child who has short stature is much shorter than children who are the same age and sex. Your health care provider will go over your child's growth chart with you. A child with short stature's height is: - Two standard deviations (SD) or more below the average height for children of the same sex and age. - Below the 2.3rd percentile on the growth chart. This means that out of 1,000 boys (or girls) who were born on the same day, 977 of the children are taller than your son or daughter. | |
