Signs that a boy has stopped growing in height may include no noticeable height increase over the past three years, an increase in muscle mass, and complete closure of the growth plates (epiphyseal lines). If a child exhibits these three signs, it usually indicates that skeletal development is complete and further height growth is unlikely to occur.
