Hello Ma'am,
The effects of Concerta™ on the growth of children are the subject of several scientific publications. At this time, the effects of this drug on growth appear to be less and less significant as the child ages, and discontinuation of the drug appears to allow the child to regain the accumulated "stunted" growth. In addition, it appears that the child's final height as an adult is not affected by this drug (reference).
It is still felt that the child's height should be monitored, in order to detect early any delay that is deemed too great.
Good day's end,
Alexander
