I don't know about the Tanner stages, but my parents are/were 5'10" and 5'11". My brother grew to 6'5"; at least 4 of those inches happened after high school.

No. DS did most of his growing between 13.5 and 15, maybe added one more inch. He's been between 5'9 and 5'10 since 16, which was always his predicted height. (Parents are 5'8 and 5'4)

I can't say I ever thought about Tanner stages at all and certainly wasn't closely monitoring my teen son's body.

Yes, he was 5'6 and is now 5'10 and I think still growing.

I have a 17.5 year old and, per his physical, he grew an inch in the past year. I think he’s done now—he’s 6-1 and that’s in line with his genetic disposition.

So swimming stunted his growth interesting

Mine stopped at 15. Most of them won’t grow past 16 but you’ll hear about kids who do too.

Obviously it relates to when they started puberty. Mine started in earlier side.

My DS grew in college, as did his feet. He is 30 now and I never heard of the tanner scale at that time.
