teenage height growth tips - #28953

Harsh

I am worried about my son, who’s 15 and seems to be a bit shorter than his friends. It’s been on my mind a lot lately because I remember how self-conscious I felt during my teenage years about height. We went to the doctor for a routine check-up, and they said he was in the 25th percentile for height, which honestly freaked me out a bit. I mean, are there really any good teenage height growth tips that might help? I’ve read some stuff online about nutrition, like eating more proteins and calcium, but sometimes it feels overwhelming. He’s already a picky eater, and convincing him to try new things feels like a battle. He plays basketball, so I thought maybe that would help too, but not seeing the results is frustrating. I wonder if there are specific exercises or sleep habits that are known as teenage height growth tips? And what about supplements? They say growth plates close around this age, right? Just need some realistic advice because I want to support him without pushing too hard. Thanks for any insight on teenage height growth tips!
