[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, height at 14 doesn't predict at all. I know people like my brother who stopped growing at 15ish and some people like my cousin who didn't hit his big growth spurt until 16 and grew while in college.[/quote] Right! My dh was 6’0 when he graduated high school and 6’2 when he graduated college. I know a lot of boys who grew in college [/quote] Height at 14 is actually predictive of height at adulthood but it’s not a perfect correlation. You’re talking as if you have a very limited understanding of variability and statistics. The doctor wasn’t wrong that the kid will [b]likely[/b] be 6ft absent other information, but it’s not [b]guaranteed[/b] he’ll be 6ft. Perhaps he should have explained better, but still it’s obvious to most people what he meant. [/quote] And the key necessary info that he was missing was 1) parental height and 2) hope much time the kid had left to grow[/quote]
