Predict your child’s height

Parents often wonder how tall their kids are going to be? One easy and quite certain way to predict a child’s height is to take the average of the parents' height. So how tall are you and how tall is daddy? The child’s height is most likely going to be 2 inches above or below this average. Girls tend to be 2 inches below this average, while boys on the opposite, tend to be 2 inches above this average.

Another way to calculate your child’s height is to double his or her height at age of 2. My son is 2 years old and he’s already 39 inches. Based on this formula, he’ll be 78 inches as an adult.

If you want to calculate your child’s height based on the average of the parents’ height, try this height calculator

  1. The first trick wouldn't work with our son. LOL. My husband and I both have TALL men in our families. (My 15 year old brother is 6' 4" just a bit shorter than both our dads and both our grandpas) Both Jon and I got the short end of the stick. Literally. But by the size of our only 8 month old son, we know he's gonna be a tall little bugger. (Which doesn't sit well with his daddy)
