Why do kids grow so much during the summer?

Question

It just be my imagination, but it sure seems like they grow more when they are out of school as apposed to the rest of the year.

Answer 1

I think it's the fact that people look different over a 2 month span. Now you're probably saying, "I've seen them for more than 8/9 months almost everyday!". Well now that you haven't seen them a while[over summer] the progression of growth is more visible than it is when you've been seeing them everyday.

Answer 2

Maybe it's the stress. But I've heard somewhere that kids grow the fastest during the spring...

Answer 3

It is the sunshine and more time spent outdoors!!!

Answer 4

I don't know exactly. but i think that its because the are out of stress and are doing things that they want to do. A carefree life may be responsible.

Answer 5

I think one reason is that they sleep well during the summer. The school year is filled with going to bed late and waking up too early, slowing the body's developmental process. Sleep gets the body back on track.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Why becuz God can do anything he wants PLUS kids learn more things on SUMMER and start growing and changing
