Recently, my child has been complaining of foot pain. My family says it's due to growth spurts. What are the signs that a boy is growing taller?

During growth spurts, boys may experience pain in the ankles, joints, and other areas, as well as increased appetite, nighttime leg cramps, frequent dreams during sleep, rapid foot growth, and increased sleepiness. During this growth period, boys should maintain a varied diet and ensure balanced nutrition. They should also get adequate rest, avoid staying up late for prolonged periods, and ensure sufficient sleep.
