My grandson is 12 years old but is very small for his age, about the size of an average 8-9 year old, and his emotional maturity is also at that level. A couple of years ago, an endocrinologist suggested considering human growth hormone if he hadn't started growing by the time his friends entered puberty. Is this appropriate, and does emotional maturity align with physical maturity if there is a hormonal problem?
