Read More »When will a girl stop growing? Girls grow at a quick pace throughout infancy and childhood. When they reach puberty, growth increases dramatically again. Girls usually stop growing and reach adult height by 14 or 15 years old, or a couple years after menstruation begins. Learn more about growth in girls, what to expect when it happens, and when you may want to call your child’s pediatrician. How does puberty affect growth? Girls typically have a growth spurt in the one to two years before menstruation starts. For most girls, puberty occurs between 8 and 13 years old and the growth spurt occurs between 10 and 14 years old. They grow just 1 to 2 additional inches in the year or two after getting their first period. This is when they reach their adult height. Most girls reach their adult height by age 14 or 15. This age could be younger depending on when a girl first gets her period. You may want to contact your child’s doctor if your daughter is 15 and hasn’t yet begun her period. What’s the connection between puberty and breast development? Breast development is often the first sign of puberty. Breasts may start developing 2 to 2 1/2 years before a girl gets her period. Some girls may notice breast buds only a year after their first periods. Others may not begin developing breasts for three to four years after beginning menstruation. The buds may not appear at the same time, but they usually appear within six months of one another.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , the mean, or average, age-adjusted height for adult women 20 years old and up is 63.7 inches. That’s just under 5 foot 4 inches. Height by age At 8 years old, the earliest start of puberty, half of all American girls will be under 50.2 inches (127.5 cm) tall. This means that a lot of growth occurs during a short period of time. The following information comes from a CDC chart from 2000: Age (years) 50th percentile height for girls (inches and centimeters) 8 50.2 in. (127.5 cm) 9 52.4 in. (133 cm) 10 54.3 in. (138 cm) 11 56.7 in. (144 cm) 12 59.4 in. (151 cm) 13 61.8 in. (157 cm) 14 63.2 in. (160.5 cm) 15 63.8 in. (162 cm) 16 64 in. (162.5 cm) 17 64 in. (163 cm) 18 64 in. (163 cm) What role do genetics play in height? Your height has a lot to do with how tall or short your parents are. Growth patterns tend to run in families. When looking at the growth of children, pediatricians often ask parents about their own height, family height history, and growth patterns. There are a couple of different ways to predict how tall a girl may grow. One of these methods is called the mid-parental method. To use this method, add the height in inches of the mother and father, then divide that by two. Then, subtract 2 1/2 inches from that number. To determine the predicted height for a boy, you’d add 2 1/2 inches to the number. For example, if a girl has a father who’s 72 inches tall and a mother who’s 66 inches tall, the predicted height for the girl would be found with the following calculations: 72 + 66 = 138 138 / 2 = 69 69 – 2.5 = 66.5 So the predicted height for the girl is 66.5 inches or 5 foot 6.5 inches. This number is a rough estimate, however. You may see a margin of error of up to 4 inches in either direction. In general, the taller the parents are, the taller the child will be, and vice versa. What causes growth delays? There are many factors that affect growth, ranging from malnutrition to medications. Some girls may see a delay in growth due to certain health conditions, such as growth hormone issues, severe arthritis, or cancer. Genetic conditions play a role as well. For example, girls with Down syndrome, Noonan syndrome, or Turner syndrome may be shorter than their family members. Girls with Marfan’s syndrome may grow taller than their family members. If you have concerns about your child’s growth, contact their pediatrician. Once a girl reaches puberty, growth will typically stop a couple of years after her first period. A teen who has delayed growth will have less time to grow before the end of her spurt.
