I agree Kids do worry so much. But I would like to share something that might help. My dad entered high school at 5'2"
When He graduated he was 6"0"
Now my husband is 5'8" I am 5"4".
Both my sons have surpassed us both.
One son is 6'0" the other is 5"11 1/2" ( I had to but that 1/2 because this is what you get when 2 sons want to be taller than the other. My daughter is just 5"2" So I don't think it just has to do with Dad and Mom but also look back into your families.The one thing I would like to say , Please don't tell him he will never make it in any sport. Let him or her try what they want, and they will figure it out. Hope that helps. Also don't say his fat Mom.He loves you for who You are. Everyone is always talking about how thin one should be, when it should focus on healthy everyone is.
