🍁It's My Favorite Time of Year... Growth Awareness Week!

Hey parents! Did you know there’s actually a whole week dedicated to kids’ growth?

This year, Children’s Growth Awareness Week is September 14–20, and it’s not just a nice idea. Back in 2014, the U.S. Senate officially approved it. Which means even at the highest levels, people agree: growth is important, and parents aren’t “overreacting” when they notice something seems off.

For so many moms and dads, questions about height and growth can feel isolating. You wonder if your child is growing “normally,” or if you’re the only one stressing about it. Here’s the truth: you are far from alone. There are millions of families navigating the same worries, often quietly and bravely. But Growth Awareness Week is proof that your instincts matter and your concerns are valid.

And the best part? It’s also a chance to come together as a community. Growth is about so much more than inches on a chart. It’s about health, confidence, and the future our kids carry with them.
