[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have/had a big toddler (head and shoulders taller than peers) did they end up a big adult or did they follow genetics of their parents?

We have one outlier kid - DH is 5’10” and I am 5’8”. We have a 5 year old who is 52 pounds and 51” tall. Has always been 99th percentile since he was born. Wondering if he will stay like this or go back down to the norm given that DH and I are pretty average sized. [/quote]Yes.  My 6’2” son and my 6’3” nephew were big toddlers.  My son’s parents : 5’7” and 5’11” and my nephew’s parents 5’6” and 5’9”.  A shared great uncle was over 6’.  Other than that, no one else over 6’.

My nephew turned out to be quite the athlete. In middle school, the basketball coaches were visibly disappointed when they met my sister and BIL for the first time.  😁 They were hoping for tall genes. At 6’3”, despite being very good - he was not recruited for basketball for college - also partly because covid interrupted his junior season.  He ended up playing football in college.  Luckily, he never made it off the practice team.  [/quote]
