How to check whether growing has stopped or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do annual check-up: Kids from age 2 to 18 should have annual check-ups. The doctor records annual weight and height increases. To see if growth has stopped, a teen can return for his annual check-up. The doctor can show the teen the growth chart for the past 3 or more years. If the last 2-3 years have the same height, then height growth has stopped. If still gaining a little bit each year, one MAY grow a bit more.
