Anyone ever done a "Height Predictor" for their child?

S is taller than both me and his father. I think my height was a little stunted because of childhood illnesses, and there were taller people on my mother’s side of the family.

I think the growth charts provided by the pediatrician would give you a pretty accurate indication, depending on the percentile curve your child is tracking at. I just checked one for son, & he is pretty much on the money for his age and percentile.

My older D will be interesting. I am short, H is about 6’ 0", which puts him a little over the 75th percentile; D is tracking at about the 98th percentile. At ten years old, she is already my height!
