My son turned 12 in April and he's currently 5' 5". I'm 6' and hubby's 6' 5"

My 7 year old is 4 ft 6 and my 2 (almost 3 year old) is 3ft 5!! I am 6'3 and my hubby is 6'2. They are both way off of the charts for height. They are both beautiful and I stress that every day. I tell them all the time how being tall brought me opportunities to model and to play basketball in college to pay for a full scholarship. I am constantly reinforcing that even though they are taller than their friends, they are at an advantage.

My son just turned 5 & is 4ft 4in. I'm 6ft hubby is 5.9 but my dad was 6ft5in. I figure the boy will get to around 6ft1in or so. I was about average for my age until I reached about 13 then shot up & have been 6ft since about 15.

I don't have children but I can speak for my parents....

My mom is 5'11 and my dad is 6'2-6'3. It is funny, because they are both the only tall people in their immediate families (besides my moms identical twin). My mom does have some cousins who are very tall however- one former NBA player amongst them.

I am the shrimp of the family at 23 years old and 6'0. My 19 year old brother is 6'4, and my 16 year old sister is as well.

My SO is 6'9, comes from 6'2 mom and 6'3 dad. I cannot even imagine how tall our kids are going to be.

My 9-yr old is around 5' 1" and my 13-yr old is around 5' 6". I was 5' 9" tall at 14 and I'm a hair shy of 6' tall now.

My husband is around 5'10" and so am I. I have always been the 'freakishly tall one" in my family. Out of my four children only one is proving to be the tall one. My 23 yr old identical twin sons are 5'7" and 5'9", my daughter is 19 and topped out at 5'2.5" and the 'baby' boy of family is 16 and now 6'1" and obviously not done. His pediatrician said when he was 4 that he would be around 6'3".

I am 5'9 and my girls dad is 6'1/2 - my oldest daughter is 12 almost 13 years old, and she is 5'7 (and in a 91/2/10 shoe) and my baby girl, 7 years old is 4'0, she seems so short, but I know she is going to have a growth spurt at some point (or maybe she just seems short compared to the rest of us).

I'm 5'10" and my husband is 6ft even. My son has always been around 30-50th percentile for height...the doctor's projection at age 2 was that he would be 5'8" as an adult...how did that happen? He is 5 now and currently around 45 inches (about 50th percentile still). My daughter is 2 and she was around 10th percentile for the first year of her life for height. Then at her 18 month check up, she had grown 3 1/2 inches and is now in the 80th percentile for height (33 inches). I guess maybe she will be the tall of my kids. Kind of wish it would have been the other way around, but I guess my son could always hit an unexpected growth spurt!

I am 5'11.5 and my nine year old son is 5 foot. His father is about 6'2". I am taller than my brother and parents.

I'm 5'11", my husband 6'1".....don't predict girls height until they get their period. My daughter is 5'6"! Got period at 12......and is 19 now. My niece is 6'....got period at 15.

Boys are different, my 16 year old son is 6'2" already.

I'm about 6'0"-6'1" my mom is 5'5" (tallest on her side) and my dad was 6'4" (his side was tall). I stared my period at like 9 years old...seriously! But I kept growing until I was about 19. not huge spurts though, those happened in 3rd and 6th grade. I gradually grew until 19. I graduated HS at 5'10" or so and by my sophomore year in college i was about 6'1"

I'm 5'11" hubby is 5'6" our 15 yr old was taller then him by his 10th birthday and is now 6'2" and still growing. Our daughter is 12 and just about ready to pass her dad. I don't think she will be as tall as me.. although she gets mad when I say that;)

My daughter is 7 years old and 4'5" now. I'm certain she'll be tall when she's older. I just hope she embraces her height when she gets older because there is nothing wrong with being tall and beautiful

I have two kids- I don't know how tall they are, but I do see where they stack up next to their classmates. I'm 5-11 and husband is 6-6.
My son is 8 and is pretty dang small. He was a preemie (11 weeks early). He also doesn't eat, which could explain why he's small- both height and very underweight. I hope he's just a late bloomer, although I wouldn't be totally surprised if he ends up under 6-0. My husband's grandpa was a short skinny guy, so it's not completely out of the question.

My daughter is very tall for a five year old. In the 95%. I'm betting she'll be 6 feet, plus, with an athletic build, if she stays active (she's built like her dad). My kids are almost the same height and weight, although they are built differently. I've been asked if they are twins.

I remember how hard it was being a tall tween/teen girl. I was so aware that I was a head and shoulders above almost everyone else. I walked hunched over. I hated my height! Of course when I left the small town in Iowa where I grew up, I learned that I wasn't a freak of nature (and I got a lot of attention from men in my 20's!). But of course you can tell a teenage girl til you're blue in the face that being tall can be an asset-- but she will not believe it because her little world is the only thing she really cares about.

I'm doing my best to build confidence in my daughter. I hope it takes.

This. My dad is 6 foot 1 and my mum is 5 foot 7. Somehow I ended up 5 foot 11 and my brother is 6 foot 5! I reached my full height aged 11 and it was miserable. I also have huge feet, size 10 UK (12 US). My mum tried to tell me it didn't matter about my height and of course being a teenager I never listened. Only now do I appreciate the attention and high metabolism that was gifted to me alongside these things.

I think the hardest part was definitely the feet and the lack of nice shoes though.

My goodness, these children are gigantic! My son Dj is 4'6 and in seventh grade, he takes after me in height, I'm 37 years old and 4'7. But my other son Dakota is in the fourth grade and 5'4, he takes after his father who is 6'4.
