Thank you for sharing this concern. Letâs take a closer look at your 3.6-year-old childâs height.

### ð **Child's Growth Assessment**
* **Current age:** 3.6 years (approx. 43 months)
* **Current height:** 92 cm
* **Mid-parental (genetic) height estimate:**
$$
\text{(Mother's height + Father's height + 13) / 2} = \text{(160 + 173 + 13)/2} = 173 cm
$$
So, **expected adult height (rough estimate):** \~173 cm (±8.5 cm)
---
### ð Is 92 cm short at 3.6 years?
According to WHO Growth Standards:
* **Average height at 3.5 years**: \~99 cm
* **3rd percentile height at 3.5 years**: \~93 cm
Your childâs height of **92 cm** is **below the 3rd percentile**, which is considered **short stature** and needs further evaluation â but **not necessarily abnormal** or pathological.

### 𧪠Rule Out Any Medical Issues First
1. **Nutritional deficiency** â iron, zinc,
vitamin D, protein.
2. **Chronic conditions** â celiac disease, frequent infections, asthma.
3. **Endocrine issues** â growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism.
4. **Genetic causes** â familial short stature, constitutional growth delay.
You should **consult a pediatrician or pediatric endocrinologist**. They may suggest:
* Growth chart plotting over time
* Bone age X-ray
* Blood tests:
TSH, IGF-1, CBC, ESR, Vitamin D, zinc, etc.
