[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH was super short until he was a Sophomore in HS. His nickname was shorty. He is now 6'2. He had a super late growth spurt. I think it just happens to some kids. [/quote]

This is unusual. Most short kids aren’t suddenly in the 90%tile. They have late growth spurts but usually stay around their curve.  [/quote]

Not true for boys. Plenty of examples in my daily and my husbands of boys that are average to smaller which ended up at 6’3” as adults and their friends who were early through puberty which stopped growing at 5’9”[/quote]

My son was early through puberty and ended up 6-5.  He was born long, grew up tall, and stayed tall.

These posts are really just kind of pointless.  It's all normal variation, both in timing of puberty and height bell curves.  MOST boys (not all) go through puberty and are done growing in height by 15.  Some boys grow late.  The kid will be how tall they're meant to be and it's most likely going based on parental height.   If you're tall, your kid will probably get there.  If you and your partner are short, probably not going to have the growth spurt at 18 to get them to 6-3.
