[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My almost 10 year old is 5'4".  I'm officially terrified.[/quote]

My 7.5 year old is 5'1"....he is on the trajectory to hit 6'9" when he is 18.....We might need to buy a bigger car.

6’9”?!?!?! He will probably slow down unless ya’ll have the genes (like pp mentioned) to back up that kind of height. Who knows though! I posted about my over 5’ 11” 13 yo and even though he has always towered over all his peers the ped said he would likely end up at dh’s height. Dh is 5’ 11” so I guess DS will stop growing now? Not likely.[/quote]

Actually, it happens all the time.  I have a now 15 year old that is 6'1". Two years ago, he was shorter than his friend who was then and still is now 5'6".  Their heights today are not a surprise if you met both sets of parents. Middle school is full of some kids who have hit puberty and are all ready their full height (or very nearly are) and those that haven't. Puberty growth spurts vary (some slow and steady and some rapid bursts).  But, our ped did tell my son, generally starting puberty a little later tends to add inches becuase you have a few extra inches in before you hit puberty. [/quote]
