How tall will your child be?

[Blondie]

I know it's not an exact science but it's kind of fun anyway!

Kids Height Predictor

 

[grinningghost]

I think it's dead on for my daughter. She's just about 15 and says she'll be 5'3". She's almost that right now, and I don't expect her to grow much taller at this age.

 

[Blondie]

DS#1: 5'7"

DS#2: 5'10"

 

[kild]

6'2"
and
6'0"

 

[BriarfoxinWA]

Yikes! My DS's are going to be:
6'1"
and
6'5"

My 13 year old is already 5'7" so it doesn't surprise me. It's the 8 year old that's going to be 6'5"!

 

[Melora]

Totally off for me...

They DS 18 would be 5' 3".. Hes now 5'9 ".

Oldest DD 17 estimate was 5' 5.. shes about 5 ' 2.5.. we dont think shes gettig any bigger.

Next DD estimate was 5' 4 and shes already pushing 5' 7....

My kids were always very small when they were little so the predicters never work.

My hubby was the height he was at 11! Then he barely grew an inch during his teenage years.. they said he was going to be 6' 5.. hes only 5'8!

Oh well!!!!

Melora, did you put in their current height, weight and ages?

That's what I was thinking..

As far as my kids

DD 5'7"
DS 6'1"
DS 6'1"
DD 5'6"

 

[jacksonsmom]

It said my DS (4) will be 6' 3".
Doesn't surprise me, he was 23 inches when he was born & has been growing like a weed ever since!!

 

[stm61]

DD #1 5'9"
DD #2 5'6"
this looks about right

DS 5'7"
this is way off, I'm 5'9" and DH is 6'3". There's no way this boy will be that small! He's always been a super-slim kid, the slim size jeans fall off his waist. His weight may be what's throwing off the calculater.

 

[DVC Jen]

Why oh why is everyone taller than me?

I am *just* 5ft tall.

My daughters will be 5'2 (my oldest she is 15 and already 5'1) and the youngest (who is 11 and 4'9) will be 5'5.

Oh well. I wouldn't wish for them to be as short as me anyway.

 

[CJMickeyMouse]

DS #1 6'2"

DS #2 6'6"



I would guess this is low for both of them.

 

[mrsv98]

It says DD will be 5'5" but I think that is too tall. Her bones are very petiteand I will be surprised if she gets much beyond my height of 5'3" (ok, I am that tall on a good, fluffy hair day! ).

I think she will take after her paternal aunt. She has the tiniest fingers I have ever seen, her ring size is a 2!

 

[Melora]

I used heights and weights from different times throughout their life..(I keep a chart for all of them) the predictions did not become correct until I entered the current ones.. in other words I put the heights in for right now and lo and behold THATS how tall they will be when they grow up...

Any early entries from when they were little were very far off because my kids were all so tiny when they were little.

My son should have been just barely over 5 feet tall according to all predictions until he hit 16 and grew 6 inches in 18 months.

Same for my youngest DD who is 15 and 5' 7. She was the teeniest little thing until she hit about 15 then shot up.

My other DD is the only one whose prediction was close throughout my entering different ages... shes shorter than me!!!

 

[Raysplus1]

It says our DS will 6'4"

DW 5'10
DH 6'00

 

[KathyTX]

I hope it's a tad overstated.

It shows DS should be... 6'7"!!!

(Actually, that was with me rounding his age up a tad... )

Now, he does have some BIG feet... do boys grow into their feet like puppies grow into their paws?

(Me: 5'10"
DH: 6'2"
DS: 5'5.5" , 110 lbs, just shy of 11 years, and men's size 10.5 shoes!)

And I've gotta add here- he has *no* interest in basketball. You think we'll be fighting with the coaches about that for years to come?

 

[janette]

It says my 12yo DD with be 5'8" and my 9yo DD will be 5'3" . Probably pretty close for both of them, I know my oldest will be at least 5'7" since she's 5'3" right now and the youngest has always been average height or a little shorter.

Kathy, your DS is very tall already so that probably isnt' too far off!

It says my DS will be 6'6". He's currently 5'11" (just grew another inch) at 12. (I put 13 into the predictor because he's closer to his 13th bday than his 12th. When I put in 12.3 it came out with 6'8". ) His shoes are a 13. He's not interested in basketball, either.

It says 10yo DD will be 5'9". She's currently about 5'5". She's disappointed; she thought she would be taller! My MIL is 6' even. DD IS interested in basketball, and is going to 2 camps this summer.

4yo DD is also supposed to be 5'9".

It said my DD 13 will be 5'6" She was disappointed because she wants to be shorter! Of course she is in gymnastics so the shorter and more compact the better.
She says it's too bad she can't throw a couple of extra inches your DD's way and they would both be thrilled.

 

[tiggerlover]

It says DS will be 6'1" which is about what the doctor told us when DS was 2.
