Many parents lose sleep worrying whether their child is much smaller than peers or if puberty is starting too late. The fear that the epiphyseal plates might close and settle their final height is completely understandable. Today, I would like to offer a calming Korean medicine perspective to help ease that anxiety.

Is your child still holding a smartphone well past 10 p.m.? Bedtime might be delayed because they want to play just a little longer or wait until you finish work so you can go to bed together. If you are concerned about your child's growth, nighttime sleep may be the very first thing to reconsider.
