[quote=Anonymous]I’m sure this will come up at his ped appt. If the ped is concerned, tests may ordered. Are you sure he hasn’t started puberty? My 14yo has no outward signs that I would notice (voice, facial or armpit hair etc) but has definitely started puberty per our ped. The only signs at first are below the belt, which you would (obviously) probably not be aware of. The major growth comes a bit later, usually- sometimes a lot later. Has your DS ever been tall? Has he been growing fine the last few years- but just not a growth spurt yet? What were your and DH’s growth patterns- did either of you mature on the late side? I believe peds take all of that, and more, into account. My own DS is a bit behind at age 14.5 but DH was the same, so it is no surprise. Our ped has no concerns. [/quote]
