| DS is a now rising freshman and grew to 6’0” in the last year. In 6th, he was still shorter than I by a good bit. I am 5’8” and in past year and a half grew a ton. Dad is 5’10” and I think DS has another inch or two to go. I have some really tall genes on my side. Girl siblings are both tallish. But DS is still the tallest by far on growth charts to date. |

| My rising hs senior just surpassed my height. He was always the littlest in his classes. He is comparably short compared to other boys. |

| My DS has always been tall but shot up this year. Same height as me, 5’6” in 5th. Now as a raising 7th grader he is 5’10”. My DH is tall but I expect him to be done growing in the next year or two. |

| My son (turning 14 in August) is slightly taller than me. I am 5'4", he is about 5'4 1/2". Most of his friends are around 5'6" or 5'7", with some outliers at 5'10" or over 6 feet. So he is relatively short. |

| My rising 8th grader (he'll be 14 in August) just passed me a month ago. He's been growing like crazy in height and shoe size. He's 5'7.5 now and I'm 5'6. DH is 5'10" and we both have a few 6'2-3" types on either side (as well as some shorter relatives too). |

How did you know that was his full height? (Or is he much older currently?) |

14 before starting 8th grade? He should be starting high school. |
