he will grow slowly with age
ask him to start playing outdoor games that causes stretching of body.
you can also use pediasure or bamboo shoots,these both are excellent for growth

You should visit a Paediatrician who would measure both parents height, plot it on a graph and will advise you further. Doctor may consider doing his bone age as well.
