[quote=Anonymous]OP, if your kid is in the 95% for height, they're certainly not short. They're statistically taller than 19 out of every 20 boys their age. But that doesn't put them in the "whoa, they're tall category. The CDC says between 5 and 95% is "normal stature". Which, as a 6'2" man, I agree with - I never feel short, but I rarely feel tall. My son, however, is 11yo and 5'10". He's literally off the charts. We'll see where he ultimately lands, but for now he is a freaking giant among his peers. That said, as others have indicated, that doesn't equate to value as a player. In basketball, he's mid-pack in the value he brings to the team, while some of the smaller kids are just tremendous players. That may change over time, too, but I wouldn't sweat it in the meantime. Everybody is right height.[/quote]
