I have noticed that my ds aged 11 has suddenly become very hairy Arms a little but his legs a lot more Is this normal at his age?I tend to worry about everything and am just after some assurance really as I have to take him for a heart scan and I can just about cope with that without there being something else wrong with him!Thanks

not sure if this is relevant but iirc dh said he developed a lot of body hair around that age. He was very tall for his age, & he reckons he also stopped growing around then (think this is exaggerated, but mil did say he was v tall in primary & then everyone caught up, & overtook him in secondary). He now has extremely hairy legs, but hardly any on chest.(I prefer it that way )

My husband was very hairy from about this age, legs particularly and started shaving early (though not at 11) - pretty sure there's nothing at all to worry about on that score.

thanks for your reassurance no plans to shave them but may keep waxing in mind as a threat for the current incessant answering back!
