[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He probably looked at a chart, saw that he was in the 85 percentile, and if it holds over time he’ll be 6 ft tall. No need to get worked up about it, I don’t understand what you’re venting about. Might be a good time to explain your kid how predictions, variability and genetics work. At 13 the basics should have been covered in math and science classes.[/quote] My kid was 20% at 13 and 90% at 18. He was also 95% at 2 years old and kept going down (40-20%) until growth spurt at 16. Percentile will be high at 13 if kid grows early/hits puberty early and a kid that is a late grower will be average or low percentile at 13, and move up percentile as he grows …while the early grower moves down percentile.
