Dear welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.

It is not related to your blood group. Growth depends on genetics, race and nutrition. Some time hormonal imbalances (over secretion) can also cause rapid growth and obesity. Reduced secretion of hormone may lead to slow growth.

In my opinion you should visit a paediatric specialist, preferably endocrinologist. Your kids require a thorough examination and laboratory investigation to come to the diagnosis and finally intervention (if required).

Meanwhile give them balanced diet, regular physical activities for holistic body development.

I hope my reply will help you. Please write to us for more questions. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
