At what age does a man stops growing. Is it supposed to be true that son must be taller than his father and daughter must be taller than her mom. I hope you answer this question in detail.

No, it?s not true. The fastest rate of growth is usually 1 to 2 years after puberty has started. Developing physically into an adult takes 2 to 5 years. Most boys will stop growing taller by age 16 and will usually have developed fully by 18 -20.
