This is a two arm, randomized, prospective, intervention study in order to determine the effects of growth hormone treatment on eating regulation and to compare between the growth responses with or without nutritional intervention in short stature children.

1. Control group that will continue with growth hormone treatment without any other intervention.
2. Study group that will be a given a nutritional intervention in addition to growth hormone treatment.

At screening visit and during the study the following parameters will be evaluated: height, weight, growth markers in the blood and urine, child eating behavior questionnaire, blood tests, hormonal tests and resting energy expenditure measurements.
