[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I hate those charts and growth predictors. My DS is 14.5 and 5’9”, convinced he will be 6’0”+ since some online calculator say so (and his older brother is, sure). But pretty much anyone could look at my DS and realize he is about done growing. I don’t say anything about it to him either way, but I’m 99.5% sure he is going to be disappointed. The online calculators are one thing but it is another thing for a pediatrician to be doing it…..I’m sure the ped didn’t mean anything by it, but probably not a good idea. [/quote] Odd. How can one look at a 14.5 yo boy and know he’s done growing? I can’t tell looking at my own 14.5 son. I think there are another two inches or so, but who knows? I do, however, take advantage of the unknown timing to explain that height is impacted by sleep and nutrition. So he’s motivated to look after both. [/quote]
