[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 4’8 considered tall? My ds is 4’11 at 8 and he’s tall but not extraordinary and the girls overall seem to be taller than or equal to boys at this age.[/quote] You do not have an 8 year old, or you don’t know his height. 99th percentile at 8.5 years is 54.5” and 59” is way off the charts. And for girls, 99th is 54.8”. If your child was really 4’11” you’d be at an endocrinologist and would know these things.[/quote] Right. My 8 year old DD is 55" tall and at least 97th percentile. We get comments all the time that she's sooooooooooo tall. She's young for her grade and taller than most kids in her class except a couple that were held back. I would be concerned about her weight, OP. My DD is 55" tall and around 80 lbs and technically overweight per BMI (for whatever stock you put in that). I can't imagine her 20 lbs heavier. [/quote]
