[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a family friend whose son was always 99th percentile. He was huge in preschool and elementary. He was still huge in middle school. He was probably 5’10” freshmen year and is now 5’11” so he didn’t end up as tall as we all would have thought. He basically stopped being tall in high school. His dad is 5’10” and his mom is 5’3”.

We have known several kids who were very large for age throughout childhood. Off the top of my head, they all seem to have ended up more or less as you’d expect based on the parents. The tall ones all have at least one tall parent, I think. [/quote]

When my son was little and we were out and about moms with little kids would make small talk.  They would ask how old my son was.  Whether he was 2 or 3 or 4 there would always be one mom would comment on how tall he was.   He was average height as a child, I don’t know why the comments except people aren’t good judgments of kid’s sizes. [/quote]
