Sounds like he’s doing great and that his natural ability will help offset the size differential.

There’s nothing you can do about this.

I have a 5’4” 15 yo who’s also basically through puberty. He might not grow any more at all! But he’s a happy, healthy kid with lots of friends. Count blessings, and all that.[/quote]

FYI - you're about 7-8 away from being done with puberty.

The bad parts (acne, voice change) may be over, but still lots more development to occur.[/quote]

I’m fascinated by responses like this. How could you possibly know how long puberty will last for my son? Did you know that he started puberty at 10? Did you know that his pediatrician thinks he’s basically done and that he’s unlikely to grow much more? Did you know that both sides of his family are small?

I guess some people are really desperate to be anonymous experts on the internet.[/quote]

Jesus H.  Everyone has a hair trigger around here.

My comment was more that your body doesnt stop growing/developing into a man's body until your're in your late teens or early 20s.

There's absolutely nobody that was finished with development at age 14.  I don't just mean height.  I mean beard thickness, muscle mass, chest hair.

I wasn't attacking you, or your son.  No need to come out guns blazing.

But maybe you're right.  Maybe your son will have the exact same body at 15 that he will have at 25.[/quote]

NP here. You've clearly hit a sore spot with PP, but as a mother of a 10 year old boy, I appreciate your insights.[/quote]

You're welcome :).  And I'm the same poster that said I hit 5'11 at age 15, and thought I was destined to be 6'3.  But I'm still 5'11 today, at age 40.  But I didn't need to shave every day until about age 21 or 22, and didn't really pack on real muscle until 18 or 19.

But the other poster was right; my personal experience does not mean her son will follow the same path.  I've just never seen anyone be done developing into their adult male body at age 15.[/quote]
