When did your kid with growth delay/late puberty grow?

Pediatrician at his most recent annual said “let’s watch it” but given family history of late growth plus no signs of puberty she said she was not concerned. Next annual is in 6 months so planning on pushing for additional testing if we haven’t seen more growth. DDs (older) both followed very typical growth/puberty timelines so this is very stressful—especially since he’s an athlete and now struggling to compete with boys who have already had growth spurts and are well into puberty.

In my family boys grow very late and girls are on time. Both are tall, in the end. Your daughters growth may be irrelevant here, though I’d be concerned re feet size without height.

Why would you be concerned about foot size without height? Our son’s feet grew a ton before they had their actual growth spurts. I thought that was the norm.

Yes I would think it’s a good thing that he has a 10.5 foot. My son is right around 5’ 3” at almost 14 and he wears a size 7!

Do you want feet to grow early or late to maximize growth?

Lost baby teeth very late (nearly 8 for first one, lost last baby molar at 13) and has tiny hands and feet as I think I mentioned. Feet are now maybe size 5, about the size of most 10 year olds, it seems.

Must have baby dick too
