During middle childhood, girls typically enter a growth spurt earlier than boys due to differences in the timing of puberty. Girls usually begin their growth spurt around ages 9 to 11, while boys start a bit later, around ages 11 to 13. This early growth phase allows many girls to temporarily outgrow boys of the same age. However, boys eventually catch up and often surpass girls in height during later adolescence.
