Question
My child is nine years old, and last week at the parent-teacher meeting at school, they mentioned the importance of monitoring my child’s development. I haven’t paid much attention to my child’s growth, and the key is that I’m not very knowledgeable about it. I want to know when a child’s development is normal?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, we need to look at which aspect of growth and development is in question. There are differences in the timing of growth and development between boys and girls; girls tend to develop earlier. Boys typically start growing around the age of fifteen. However, with the significant improvement in modern living standards, children’s growth and development are also advancing earlier. Based on your situation, I suggest considering appropriate factors and paying attention to the proper supplementation of calcium and other medications for treatment.
