[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the formula.

Add the mother's height to the father's height in either inches or centimeters.
Add 5 inches (13 centimeters) for boys or subtract 5 inches (13 centimeters) for girls.
Divide by 2.

That tracks for my son’s growth so far, he’s predicted to be about 5’9” (dad 6’1”, mom 5’) that’s the same height as my brother (parents are 5’2”, 5’11” so formula is the same)[/quote]
I’ve never seen this formula before, but it tracks very closely with our adult kids’ heights. 5’7” mom and 5’9” dad have 5’10” son and 5’5.5” daughter. But our 14 year old DS is already 6’. [/quote]

That sounds pretty accurate for my family -- parents 5'4" and 6'2" and three daughters all 5'7" -- but not my sister's -- where she is 5'7" her husband is 5'10" and their daughter is 6'4".  Genetics are weird sometimes.  I'm really curious to see where my kids end up.[/quote]
