[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That kid doesn't look ten. My 11 year old is 5 feet tall. [/quote] A 6-year-old girl in the 97th percentile for height is about 49 inches tall. So is a 10-year-old girl in the 3rd percentile for height. If you saw a 97% six-year-old and a 3% ten-year-old standing next to each other, do you think you'd be able to figure out which girl was which? I sure hope you would.[/quote] Someone who doesn't have kids or work with kids will have no idea how old kids of the same height are. One of my kids is tall, and people consistently thought he was three or four years older than he really was. Funnily enough, now that he is a teen, strangers tend to think he is younger than he is. I wouldn't be surprised at people thinking a small child is younger than he is. Look at the threads about red shirting: people are always commenting on those threads about tall kids and assuming that they are the oldest kids in the class. [/quote]
