How tall he gets is mainly fixed by his genes, so there's not a lot he can do. Standing up straight will help him seem taller. Eating a healthy diet (lots of milk, vegetables, etc) will maximize his height potential. Encourage him not to worry -- you're tall and probably share enough of his genetic makeup to predict that he'll have a growth spurt, too. But if he doesn't, tell him just to hold his head high and smile -- being tall may be cool, but being cool doesn't require you to be tall.

Tell him to be patient. He has to get older. It doesn't happen overnight and he will only be as tall as he is genetically predisposition ed to be. There is nothing he can do to make himself taller. You are as tall as you are ever going to be. by time he is 17 he will be a tall as he is ever going to be.

Eat healthy (and drink milk for the bones) and mother nature will take over. Other than that, there's nothing you can do.

sounds like genetics are in his favor.
I was 4' 11 my freshman year in highschool.
by senior year I was 5'10 1/2
dont do anything to stunt your growth like steroids or drugs, and just wait it out.

im 6foot6. Drink lots of milk, and maybe figure out away to alter your genetics, that would be the best!

i think he should wait til puberty comes along and it will help him out BIG time. My lil bro at 12 was 4'10" and now at 15 he's 5'6"
