What determines child's height?

Question

My husband is 6'4 and he thinks our kids will be tall like him.. I'm 5'4 so a whole foot difference

Answer

Supposedly somewhere in between, but in shorter than both of my parents and my husband is taller than both of his. 🤔

Answer

My doctor said there's no way to tell but some people believe if you average the parents heights and then subtract 3 inches, that will be the height for a girl. I only have a daughter so I don't know what the belief for a boy is. But of course this can't always be true or else this would mean all sisters in the world would be the same height and all brothers would be the same height lol. It's just fun to guess tho right? 😊

Answer

My husband is 6'5" and I'm 5'5". My son is very tall and taking after dad. My daughter so far is tall for a girl but a cpl inches shorter than my son was at each of her check ups. They do say too to take their height at age two and double it for their adult height (not sure how scientifically proven that is!).

Answer

No idea!  It will be interesting to see how my son grows.  My husband and his brother are way different heights as well.  My hubby is 5'11 and my brother in law is 6'6".  My dad isn't tall but my brother was over 6", so I'll just have to wait and find out I think!
