Listen "Beyond the Growth Chart: A Parent’s Guide to Growth and Short Stature"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode, we’re focusing on a topic that’s a big concern for many parents – your child’s growth. Is my child growing normally? Are they just on the smaller side, or could there be an underlying medical reason? And when should you seek help? Joining host, Meredith Gaskins, is Dr. Ishita Kharode, chief of pediatric endocrinology at Richmond University Medical Center, who specializes in evaluating and treating growth and hormonal disorders in children. We’ll discuss what’s considered normal growth, the possible causes of short stature, how it’s evaluated, and when treatments like growth hormone might be needed. So whether you’re a parent who’s been measuring your child’s height on the kitchen wall, or just want to better understand how kids grow, you’ll want to stay tuned for this episode.
