Do you want to know the height of your children?

hehe!I'm glad that my son's height is taller than the forecast of the formulate.he is 1.90.i think he is tall enough.the reasons may be he likes sport.we also give him good nourish.

Hello Youless, I saw this formula somewhere, and i can't remember it. That's so fun, my husband is way taller than i am. so the result turn out like if we have a boy, it will at least 187cm, girl will be 166cm. I love those heights!

I wonder how accurate is the formula. I am not too tall and so is my husband (Asian Standard) but my children are both a head taller than both of us. I think food plus genetic will produce taller children in this modern age.

hello dear, this formula are for kidz for what age range ?? i have 3 girls and 2 boys - age ranged between 6 yr.old to 16 yr.old. dont think that the same formula will work for all five of them... ??

wow..thats intersting..thanks for sharing.

I did this in centimetres. I got 189 cm for my boy. Some how I am not sure about that. Fathers side is short. My side is around the same hight but do have taller uncles and one set of grandparents were tall. If he is 189, he would certainly follow one set of grand parents. But going on my step son, he is the same height as us. Daughter may possibility be a shorty if the calcutions are to go by and also with my step daughter too. Calculations came in at 168. Sounds like step daughter. So that may be a good possibility. Of course this formula is only for fun and can't take it as the rule of hight. My sister and I are both taller than our mother but just shorter than our father. It may work for some but won't work for others. But it was fun doing it.

my mother once told me that a doctor told her to wait till her child was two years old, and double their heights at the age of two.. I was a little under 3 feet when I was two years old, and now as an adult, I'm a little under 6 feet, so that is pretty true. So far that's worked for all of my family members.

hmmm... i wonder if these things can be derived by formula. perhaps there is a margin of error of 90%, or what statisticians call confidence levels of 90%. Cos I've seen kids who are much much taller than both parents. but i guess genetics is the main determinant of height so I'd buy this rough formula, with allowances for some standard deviation. :)

youless, Happy New Year! It's been some time since I last saw your post. This is really interesting and thank you for sharing this. All the best for 2010 and take care.

Hello youless......How are you dear...I am back in mylot after hibernating foa few months.....Well I calculated the height of both my boys as you suggested....it comes to rounf abour 5.9 feet...But actually they are both 6 footers.......The elder is 6'1"....While I am only 5'4" and my hubby is about 5'7"....So I guess this is only a rough calculation..... Any way happy new year to you dear........

I'm assuming we convert our heights to inches? In that case my son will be 6.21 feet tall...which could be right! (74 inches) My daughter would be 66 inches or 5'6"...which could be right...but I think she will be a lot taller! That is a fun way to calculate it! Thanks for sharing!!
