Average Age Of Growth Spurts In Boys. The average age at which puberty begins in boys is 11 to 12 years. The end of puberty is not clearly delineated and may vary with the physical, emotional, mental, social and cultural criteria to define an adult boy. However, it usually gets complete at around the age of 17 to 18.
When Do Boys Stop Growing? Infants grow so fast and so often in the first year most parents accept this as the norm, but nature plays a trick on us. After the age of two, this quick rate of growth slows down substantially to a turtle-like 2.5 inches (6 cm) per year, explains Dr. Mark Gettleman, a pediatrician and the founder of Dr. Goofy Gettwell Pediatrics. This steady state of growth remains until puberty, which starts around age 10 to 15 in boys. Puberty marks the beginning of numerous bodily changes in children and starts the first of many growth spurts, which will continue through the teen years and into early adulthood.
