Question
Has your child’s growth reached its limit? How should parents respond?
Answer
A child’s growth does not stop with the onset of voice changes; the key is to see if the growth plates have completely closed. If the growth plates have not closed, there is still a possibility of growth. Generally, boys experience a growth spurt around the age of 18. Parents should not worry excessively. If they are still concerned, they can go to the hospital to check the growth plates to determine if there is still room for growth.
