Signs before a growth spurt include increased appetite. During growth periods, children typically have a stronger appetite and eat more. Joint pain may also occur, particularly in the limbs, often due to rapid growth. Additionally, during growth phases, children tend to go to bed earlier and wake up later in the morning. Therefore, the above-mentioned symptoms are commonly seen as signs of an impending growth spurt.
