[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors can tell by physical exam what stage of development teens are in and can therefore estimate when they will stop growing. If you are 14 and tanner 2 you probably have a few years of growth. if you are tanner 5 that signals the end of growth.[/quote] How long does each stage tend to last? The doctor said my son was early stage 2 at his 13 year checkup. [/quote] It seems to vary based on a variety of factors which, in my son's case, involved physical exam, bloodwork and bone age scan. For DS, who is just now showing signs of early stage 2, it was estimated that it would be another year to 18 months for him to reach stage 3 and peak growth velocity.[/quote]
