Isn't bodybuilding bad for kids' growth in tallness? At least, that's what I read.

If one of your kids is male, then he might resent his lack of tallness once he reaches the reproductive age.

> Isn’t bodybuilding bad for kids’ growth in tallness?

Bodybuilding, as such, is generally considered dangerous for kids; whereas age-appropriate strength training is not (though even that is generally recommended for significantly older than 2, most sources I’ve seen suggest not younger than 6-8 to start.)
