[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 95th percentile even as a younger for his grade kid, I can't believe people are saying your child is tiny! Clearly with your parental  heights, he's going to be quite tall. You asked about when the size difference starts to even out- I don't think anyone can say because puberty hits kids at different ages (which I'm sure you know).  I can just tell you anecdotally that my son has friends who shot up early in 5th or 6th grade and now at 15, have plateaued and lots are catching up or surpassing them now.

My son is also 95th percentile for height but he's grown pretty steadily.  He plays baseball and is one of the taller kids on his team at 6'1" but if you look at the football and obviously basketball kids' heights, he'd be one of the more average to smaller kids.  Obviously your son plays sports known for physical size so he may never catch up to those older boys...or he might tower over them![/quote]

Agree on basketball but football has fairly large average sizes by position.

Linemen are all generally tall and huge but the average NFL cornerback is 5’11”.[/quote]
