Growing: teeth, height, hair, nails, from baby to grown-up, sentence 10

Many children aged about 3 to 12 get aching legs at night that are gone by morning; they are called growing pains, but doctors are not sure growth causes them, as bones grow very slowly and tired muscles may be part of it, and limping, swelling or redness need a doctor.

Who acts: Many children, doctors, growth, bones, tired muscles · What happens: age, get, ache, go, call, grow · To what, where: 3, aching legs, Children, doctors, part, doctor · Speech: someone speaks here
