Today’s episode is for all those parents who are worried about their child’s growth and development. For this, we have with us a special guest who is a dear friend and a Pediatric endocrinologist. He has done a specialization in paediatrics followed by a  Post Doctoral Fellowship in Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology. He holds special expertise in the management of Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus. Apart from being an avid reader and a  nature enthusiast he is great with kids. We have answered questions like: 1. The child will grow as tall as its parents, myth or fact? 2. A girl cannot grow after attaining menses- what one should know. 3. Can growth hormone be given to children who do not have growth hormone deficiency? And is it permissible? 4. It is normal to get menses early these days - myth or fact? 5. I didn't grow much because I didn't exercise or cycle enough in childhood- busting the myth 6. Is there a way to increase my child’s height?
