[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are hitting puberty earlier these days- boys too- which makes late bloomers all the more noticeable. Honestly, I think that is the largest part of this. My 15yo son is also a very late bloomer and it has been extremely hard on him- so I totally understand where you are coming from. The late bloomers are a really small percentage of boys it seems- I think it used to be a lot more common. Most of the boys we know seemed to hit big growth spurts at 12 and look very much like men at 14-15. At this age, I honestly don’t see it as being so much about height. There are plenty of more developed boys who are on the shorter side- it isn’t that big of an issue among peers. It is more about the physical maturity piece (and shorter height makes this more noticeable….the immature taller boys blend in better). [/quote] Forgot to add: does your son play sports? The sports piece can be extra challenging, for obvious reasons…[/quote]
