Who may have growing pains?

What are Growing pains? When do they probably have growing pains? How do you solve this problem? Growing pains aren't a disease. You probably won't have to go to the doctor for them. But they can hurt. Usually they happen when kids are between the ages of 3 and 5 or 8 and 12. Growing pains stop when kids stop growing. By the teen years, most kids don't get growing pains anymore. Growing pains also mean the troubles

and difficulties that teenagers meet when they grow up. [来源学科网ZXXK]Step 2 Brainstorming
