[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will change during puberty unless they are right in the middle with timing. They may go up in percentile if they start puberty early, or lose % if they are late bloomers. percentiles don’t mean much around puberty because of growth spurts…[/quote] Yup. I've known multiple kids who were 99th percentile in elementary and were 50th percentile by the time they finished HS. [b]If you want to guess how big your kid will be then look at you and your spouse's height.[/b] [/quote] And grandparents’ height if you know, but that can still only give a rough idea, since height is polygenic. There can also be a huge amount of variation between siblings, so there is really no simple formula. You just have to wait and see. [/quote]
