[quote=Anonymous]My almost 14 yr old is 5'2. I'm 5'. DH is about 6'2. DH said he hit his growth spurt around 15/16, grew a foot over a summer (plus a bit). He hit puberty late, as did I, which means both my kids will probably hit puberty later than average. DS has not hit puberty yet. Very little sign of it. DS had an xray on his foot when he was 10 because he was complaining about foot problems. The dr. suspected that it was growing pains. He said DS' bone age was about one year to a year and half behind his chronological age. Coupled with the fact that he will hit puberty late, he is going to stay short for a while. I'm not sure if this is how it works, but if I peg him at 13 (his bone age), then DS is actually about average height. And if he does hit puberty late, then he has more chance to grow. That said, DS is also very frustrated and upset about how short he is. [/quote]
