Why has Zach’s mother told him not to grow? Do you think she meant it?

No, Zach's mother is referring to their economic status.... haveing enough money to buy the material she needs to keep Zach in clothing that fits.

"Phew!" he gasped. "I did it. Mother says I mustn't grow any more till she's collected enough wool to knit me a bigger one." He tugged the sleeves of the jersey down but they slid stubbornly back to between his wrists and elbows.
