[quote=Anonymous]Your pediatrician can give you some guidance about this. I think you can to some extent judge based on how physically mature your son is. If you Google it, you will find descriptions of the typical pattern of maturity in boys and how the growth spurt fits in with other developments. At 12, DS was probably about 5'3" and had no facial hair and voice had not changed. He grew quickly from 12-14. Facial hair and voice change came while he was in his growth spurt. At 15 he's still growing but slower. He still does not have facial hair other than his upper lip. He's 6'2" now. I'm 6'2" and his mom is 5'8". I grew until I was about 21, which is about when I reached my adult level of face/body hair. DS has a buddy whose parents are shorter than us (maybe 5'11" and 5'6"). He's a bit shorter than DS, but about a year ahead of DS in terms of voice change and facial hair. His dad says he was done growing before 17. [/quote]
