My child will turn 14 this year, but I’ve felt since early childhood that his physical development hasn’t been optimal. Could you please tell me the standard weight and height for a 14-year-old boy?

Dr. Wang Zhuo
Hello, the standard height for a 14-year-old boy is 158.6 cm, and the standard weight is 47.83 kg. If his height and weight fall within this range, there is no cause for concern. Children at this age are in a peak period of physical growth and development. It is recommended that he consume more protein-rich foods daily, such as milk, soy products, and beef or mutton. He should also eat more vitamin C–rich fruits, including apples, bananas, grapefruits, and pears. If you suspect delayed or impaired development, please take him to a hospital for a thorough evaluation and professional diagnosis.
