[quote=Anonymous]My rising 9th grade DS is about the same- about an inch taller but he is 14.5 It is supposedly average but it often does not seem so! DS’s friends/peers probably average 5’7”-5’8” That said, my DS has been growing very steadily and isn’t that far along in puberty. Doesn’t even have underarm hair yet. Height/physical maturity is a very big deal for boys this age- no use denying that! Of course boys who are outliers will worry and have concerns. We just try to be reassuring and let him know that he WILL continue to mature, and we don’t know what his height will be, but he will probably grow a bit more. I don’t see what else one can do. My DS will most likely be at least avg height eventually - we are 6’1” and 5’6”. My DH was also a late bloomer [/quote]
