[Red Badger]

I believe he is stunted for the rest of his life. He will always be smaller than his peers.

There is a certain window for growth that he can still get back on track if he gets growth hormones and proper diet, but when that window closes, he’s as big as he will ever be.

I pray that I’m wrong................

Mental development also suffers.

It makes recovery from famines difficult (see Africa).
