My son is 13 years old. His height is more than normal, he is currently 5'10" tall. Because of his height he looks older than his age. His height has grown a lot since he turned 10. He has no health problems otherwise. Is this normal, Dr?

Ans: It depends on the height of other family members like parents, uncles, grandparents . Also has he developed any signs of puberty? This sudden growth spurt usually indicates start of puberty and final height is generally an average of parental heights. To determine whether this is part of pubertal growth spurt, bone x-rays are advised.

Question by Nishant - Apr 20, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello Career Gurus, I have a PGDBM which is pretty dated back to the year 2006. I find that the entire canvas has changed with the digital revolution making me somewhat out of place. Although, i managed to traverse successfully career-wise and secured management role but sometimes I face self-doubt whether I would be able ro sustain myself in this back-biting and nasty politics driven corporate world. I have jettisoned plans several times to go fof masters into enterpreneural management or data analytics. I am worried about the next step. Should I take a sabbatical considering that I have the usual middle-class constraints spelled out as obligation to family esp. ageing parents with my better-half playing stalemate on her commitment towards helping me and financial liabilities as well. What should I do ? Please suggest. Thank you !

Ans: You can always do part time courses along with your job and then scout for relevant jobs. A lot of certificate courses are available. Even top B schools do conduct short term management courses which is another option to look out for. Leaving your job is definitely not recommended. About taking sabbatical, it will depend on how will it affect your promotion in your company.
