Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 3012057, member: 38"] Since you don't have kids and really have no frame of reference or hint of experience, you should be aware that unless you want to start playing with endocrinologists, doctors are not able to sell you growth packs to raise or lower your child's height. It's not an instance where "gullible" comes into play - this is not a used car lot. They don't actually care how tall your kid will be other than making sure the kid isn't experiencing some sort of issue. And they don't wing it by eyeballing mom and dad. What they do is take periodic x-rays of the kid's hand and then look at the growth plates. With that, they get the bone age and they're able to tell roughly how much growing a kid has left in them. By doing that, our doctor was able to tell us that our daughter would land at about 5'2". She's now 15, done growing and she is...5'2". Spoilers - she's shorter than her mom and a foot shorter than her dad. [/QUOTE]
