No child grows at a perfectly steady rate from the toddler years until puberty. There will be weeks or months of slightly slower growth alternating with mini growth spurts in normal children.
Kids actually tend to grow a bit faster in the spring than during other times of the year.
There are plenty of things you can do to help your child grow and develop normally. Make sure your child gets plenty of rest, proper nutrition and adequate exercise. A balanced diet full of essential vitamins and minerals will help ensure that your child will reach his full growth potential. If you are concerned about your child's growth, the first step is to consult your child's doctor, who can thoroughly evaluate your child, your family history and possibly order some basic lab tests to see if there is a medical condition affecting growth.
