[quote=Anonymous]My son was 5'4" in 9th grade, he was the smallest kid in 6th, 7th and 8th grade (and 9th). What I have seen is that kids start a growth spurt when they start puberty ("smell and need deodorant" or "grow hair"). That spurt will last 3 years and they will grow 9 inches during that time... give or take. They will grow up to 3 inches more in their life time until the growth plates close. (they can close in 9th grade, they can close when they are 25) If he breaks anything asked the orthopedic to check his growth plate when they do the x-ray. Most kids that were the tallest in 6-8 are now the shortest as my son graduates HS. My son is 6'2", he started puberty in 9th grade (poor kid) and grew 9 inches those 3 years and most likely will grow a few more. [/quote]
