Standardized growth charts are also used by pediatricians, for example the WHO charts for infants aged 0 to 2 years and the CDC charts for children above 2.

I turned 13 years old on 10th August. I grew around 8 inches in the past 2 years. Lately I have only grown 3 cm in 6 months. I want to know whether I will be as tall as my dad.
Test results yielded different results. But, I know that I should be happy with the height I get! It was so interesting and great funny though. The first method is very accurate! They are 15 and 13, late bloomers, but tracking their current height and weight in conjunction with parental stats produces very accurate results.
Only inputting parental stats is very inaccurate! My kids already surpass the predicted height based on just parental height.
The kids are NOT an average of us. It could have gone either way. These values can then be entered into those growth charts and compared to the average values of those expected measurements among children with the same gender and age.
Since the growth curve of most children are generally constant, these charts are considered to be a good enough way to predict the future height of a child. Average height method The genetics of a child has a huge role in determining their future height.
There are always some differences, but this method has a 95 percent chance of landing within 4 inches of the actual height your child lands up at. This method involves: 1. Take the height of both the father and the mother of the child. Add them up and find the average divide by 2. Subtract 7. Multiplier method The multiplier method is a very easy way to determine the height of your child.
Though no official research has been done to back this up, it has proven to be quite accurate. Measure the height of your boy when he is 2 years old and your girl when she is 1.

Some of these factors have a bigger role on the height of your child than others. They are: 1. However, how those genes can be altered to an extent by optimizing your surroundings and nutrition.
Nutrition Make sure that your child has a healthy and balanced diet. This is because nutrition is required to maintain the healthy production of tissue and cells, both of which are required to maintain a steady growth of height.
Malnutrition or an unbalanced diet can cause stunted growth in a child, which is why it is utmost importance to keep their diet regulated for better child development.
Sex Boys tend to be slightly taller than girls given similar initial circumstances. Their growth curves differ from each other as girls mature much faster during adolescence while boys generally mature after adolescence. These physical differences accounts for height differences in boys and girls.
