Growth chart: The time of hrowth spurt vary in boys and girls. Typically in girl it happens right before you get ur periods and for about 6 months to a year after that. In a boy its usually at a later age. Normal growth is about 2 inches per year. During growth spurt it is more than that. After you hit growth spurt , the growth slows down significantly.
