[quote=Anonymous]DS is newly 14 and seems to be on the late side for puberty and all the changes that go along with it. Recently he has become very self-conscious about his “little kid voice,” and I have gathered that some of his friends have poked fun if it a bit, although I think they are doing it in fun and he is not truly hurt. I do think he feels a little embarrassed as most of his friends seem to be farther along in puberty and have passed him in height/size and development, along with sounding like teenage boys rather than prepubescent children.

Is this very late for there to be no change in voice yet? We have not yet had his 14 yr check up but the doctor did not seem concerned about his development last year. I am not sure what to tell DS to build his confidence during this awkward time. Sometimes he resorts to purposefully trying to lower his voice but can only maintain it for a word or two. I was a late developer myself but as a girl my experiences/worries were different so it’s hard to reassure him through my own experiences (DH, conversely, was an early developer). Any advice welcome![/quote]
