Common: The tonsils ; adenoids in kids grow faster in early ; middle childhood than other body parts.At 6-9 kids often snore.At this point the glandular tissue stabalizes its size but the kids continue to grow. By the mid teens the snoring has gone.Snoring in 3-4 yo or assoc excessive day sleeping needs an evaluation for sleep apnea.
