[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The voice starting to change probably means he is further into puberty than you think and he is an early bloomer. 3 inches per year is considered a spurt. He will probably be done growing in height fairly soon. Also, hair is really not an indicator. One of my boys had peach fuzz on his upper lip and a few armpit hairs before any other change I could see (definitely before height spurt and well before voice changes). The voice change in males has been compared to the same type of milestone as starting the period for females - it happens in later puberty and growth is starting to slow. Although it is earlier than average, there are definitely boys who stop growing in height at 13-14, especially if their voice has already deepened. [/quote] My always tallish kid usually grew 2.5 or 3 inches a year all through childhood. His growth spurt was 5 inches in one year, 4 the next year. He's 6'3 now at 14.5. [/quote]
