[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems fine, and 2 inches per year is considered normal growth. Not all boys have a huge growth spurt, some just remain consistent and steady. If he keeps growing at a rate of 2 inches per year, he’ll be 6ft by the time he is 18[/quote] My son never had a growth spurt either. He grew about 3" per year forever (started tall, stayed tall, 3" as a percentage is probably comparable to smaller kids growing 2"), then grew 4" from 13 to 14 that was his "spurt" and it was steady across the year, no crazy overnight changes. He grew another 2" 14 to 15, then nothing 15 to 16. He will be 17 soon and may have grown some this year. The pediatrician said he was likely done at 16 because his growth had stopped, but he stopped doing a heavy training regimen (20h/wk) this year and he seems to have more energy, less illness, and looks like he has grown. We saw this with other friends in our sport during the covid shut down, so seems plausible. [/quote]
