I will definitely talk to him about how good he looks and that even if he really wants to grow, he should enjoy his looks to the max. I actually already told him this a few times.
I did see him today again in another setting and he said he was looking forward to the next time we can do this again. Probably next week but weather looks bad...
He is 14 BTW. He started wearing brief swimsuits when he forgot his square cut at home and brought instead his mother's bikini bottom. Me being unorganized I still had a size 30 Nike speedo in my bag that I got for another friend that said he wanted to try out brief swimsuits. That had been in my swim bag for 2 years.... He had 2 options; either no swimming or swim in a speedo. He tried the speedo liked it quickly.
As for pushing kids and teens to smaller swimwear I can't say much other than as long as the boy understands that he is somewhat sexy and is free to agree at being seen like that I don't see much trouble. Different parents are going to have different opinions but personnally I think at 14, a boy understands quite a few things and will understand what he likes to show or not.
Thanks for the comments guys.
