While, on average, children with short stature score lower than their peers on functional tests, few short children scored outside the normal range. Furthermore, there is no evidence to explain the cause of any deficits, and limited data suggest that treatment of short stature does not improve children's functional status. Nevertheless, treatment may be warranted in children with severe short stature to alleviate restrictions on activities of daily living. Further research focusing on physical limitations due to short stature is needed to address these issues.

“…These studies found distinct personality features, lower self-esteem, increased rates of behavior problems, and lower social competence in short-statured children (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). In contrast, there is another small series of studies that found on average normal psychological functioning in their subjects (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

“…Several studies have found maladjustment of children of short stature referred to growth clinics. Children of short stature have been found to be more passive and more inhibited than children of normal stature (24). Parental ratings have also indicated behavioural difficulties especially somatic complaints and social withdrawal (25).…”

Why do some children of short stature develop psychologically well while others have problems?

The present paper addresses the question: why do some children of short stature develop psychologically well while others have problems? Based on the work of Wallander and Varni, a model is presented to illustrate risk as well as resistance factors that are important for children of short stature. It is suggested that important risk factors for the psychological adjustment of children of short stature are the child's satisfaction with its height and the aetiology of the short stature. Another possible risk factor is the tendency for people in the child's environment to treat the child as if he or she were younger than is actually the case. The most important risk factor, however, seems to be the psychosocial stress related to being teased or bullied due to the short stature. Important resistance factors for children of short stature might be the child's temperament, familial support and coping strategies. It is concluded that an important aim for future research is, in a multi-disciplinary setting, to empirically test models of risk and resistance factors that are relevant for children of short stature.
