Cold damage can cause stunted fronds. It usually takes about 3 months for cold damage to show up so I think your palms experienced a cold snap in late spring or early summer. There's not much you can do about the short fronds. As long as the plants are healthy they will develop new fronds and these should be of normal size.

Best wishes with your palms.
