Archie is now 4. I've told him he is a little bit bigger now he is 4 but I get the impression he had expected to shoot up on his birthday. Indeed on the day he asked "can you see me growing bigger"...
He is now increasingly aware that although he might be older than some other children, including his younger [but not little] brother, he isn't bigger than they are.
I find it's a balancing act - not wanting to make him have a hang up about his height whilst at the same time not wanting to pretend that he will end up as big as everyone else when he won't be.
The bottom line is that he could do just fine in life if it wasn't for the prejudice that exist in others....
