Question

Is it normal for a boy to start changing his voice at 10 and a half years old? The child’s height has almost not increased by the age of 15, and he started changing his voice at 10 and a half. Is this normal? Is there still hope for growth?

Answer

Based on the description, there is concern about the child’s slow growth rate. In fact, during puberty, one should not only look at height but also observe the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as the penis and testicles. A comprehensive evaluation should be conducted. It is recommended to have a detailed check-up of growth hormone levels at a hospital, and have a urologist carefully examine the child’s reproductive organs before making a comprehensive assessment. The above suggestions are regarding the question “Is it normal for a 10 and a half-year-old boy to start changing his voice?” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
