As kids, you are constantly growing. You may not be able to feel yourself growing day to day, but if you’ve ever had achy legs at the end of a long day and been told, “Those are just growing pains,” it certainly SEEMS like you can feel yourself growing! In this episode we get answers to all kinds of questions about growing. Dr. Zurisadai Gonzalez Castillo, a pediatric neurologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, helps us understand: how tall can people grow? How do bones grow? Why do our nails and hair keep growing–and is it true our noses and ears never stop growing either?Download our learning guides: <a href="https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/a6/80/a4be5152445895ae95488331d5b9/why-do-we-get-growing-pains.pdf">PDF</a> | <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-eOtg9nNCHEeXUaqC1BnBwFpYbHfX65NeoQDRoRe0Rk/copy">Google Slide</a> | <a href="https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/06/b3/02e9606a4bffb82441984b53803c/butwhy-growingpains-ep301-transcript.pdf">Transcript</a>
