[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, boys on average have their biggest growth spurt around age 14-15 so yes, this is completely normal. Also kids often put on weight first, then grow taller. Your child is already on the larger side at 85% for weight (I think you said) so he will probably put on more weight than a smaller teen of similar age, all things considered.[/quote] Thanks. Yes, I've noticed before that he grows out and up. But this weight gain in only a couple of months was shocking to me. I was just wondering if other have been through it as well. He's not very athletic, although he does seem to like tennis and so we have him working with a tennis coach once a week to get him out of the house and into the fresh air. We have a pediatrician wellness check coming up. [/quote]
