[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this. DS is 12 1/2. At his annual physical, his dr said that he was in the early stages of puberty and he had much more growing to do. Since then, his voice has dropped, he’s grown 3 inches and he’s developing a little milk mustache and he has a few chin hairs he’s shaved with an electric trimmer. A few days ago I walked in his room while he was changing accidentally and he definitely has a lot happening down there.

Seems like the rate of puberty for him has really sped up these past 6 months. Does this warrant a drs appointment or is this just typical? Definitely noticing his friends going thru little changes but his seem so quick. FYI, he’s 5ft5 right now and both DH and I are quite short (DH is 5’6.) DS has always been in the 75th% for height and weight. [/quote]

My experience in watching my son's friends is that the boys with short dads grow early and hit puberty quickly and early (12ish).  Then the rapid growth/changes slow as quickly as they started.

Granted there are exceptions to this but I've noticed a definite trend.[/quote]
