[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How tall do you expect him to get?[/quote] Doctor’s calculator estimated 6’0-6’2 final height. Right now he is only about 5’4.5 and very thin and boyish (no apparent physical changes though I know the first signs aren’t necessarily outwardly visible). He’s about 100 pounds. [/quote] So he sounds like my swimmer. Dad is 6'4" and I am 5'8" - so generally you average parents height for a wild guess on height and then plus or minus 2 inches in either direction. Likely my son will be 6iish .[/quote] You don't average parents' height to predict kid's final height. You average parents percentile within sex category and then apply that percentile to the kid's category. Very tall man plus tall woman makes a slightly less very tall boy, probably near 6'2"[/quote] Guess what, even doctors tend to get it wrong even when measuring growth plates. Since we can't read DNA, it is all guess work.[/quote]
