How Much Do Girls Grow During Puberty?
Did you know that girls reach their adult height earlier than boys, usually by age 15?
Growth spurts during infancy and toddlerhood can cause fussiness, hunger, and poor sleep. As children age, growth spurts occur more gradually, but during puberty, rapid changes occur and girls can grow up to four inches in one year! When do girls usually go through a growth spurt during puberty? It's typically around age 11, but puberty before age 8 or not experiencing any changes by age 15 or 16 is unusual.
During the first growth spurt, girls typically experience a rapid height increase of 2-3 inches per year until menstruation. They may also experience breast development, pubic and underarm hair growth, reproductive organ growth, hormonal changes, mood swings, and changes in foot size. After this growth spurt, a second smaller one may occur after girls start menstruating, resulting in another one to three inches of growth.
Wondering how to tell when your child has stopped growing? Look for signs such as slowed growth over the last one to two years, menstruation within the last one to two years, fully grown pubic and underarm hair, and a more adult-like appearance with developed genitals, fuller breasts and hips, and less "babyish" features.
If your daughter hasn't shown signs of hormonal development by age 15, see a doctor to rule out medical conditions, hormone imbalances, or malnutrition. But if she's younger than 15, be patient since puberty varies widely.
