Short Parents= Short kids??

Dear Nexo
So may be you should be 6' if your parents took care of your better (no offence).

no heart feelings whatsoever,:haha:, actually ur not very far from the truth, as a child my diet wasnt really what u may consider as a healthy diet, i was a bit chubby as a kid and i only started to lose weight basically after i reached 18. Well,u mentioned Yau ming, but u could also hv mentioned about Michael Jordan, in case you don't know he is the only male of the Jordan's family that had ever reached six feet.

As for genes, if any of the grandparents are relatively tall it maybe that your kids will be tall.

Both my parents are what u may call as short people, they are both 5'4.But my dad is the smallest of his brothers, both my grandpa and some of his brothers reach the 5'7,5 mark

So in the grand scheme of things if your child is a little shorter than their peers think yourself lucky. Rather than worrying about this, maybe you should be heading down to the doctors' clinic to have yourself and your wife genetically screened to make sure that you are not carriers of some hideous genetic illness.

Dear Jools
I'm really sorry for giving such a big importance to something so tiny, when compared to the problem u are living. Ur words really hv opened my eyes, and i will strongly follow ur advice. Best wishes for u and ur child, may god bless u all.
