Average: 68", 128lbs. But normal variation is quite wide. If you have questions see your Physician who knows your son, his parents, and his growth history. Don't get hung up on numbers.

Why do you ask?: There is no reason to focus on what is "average". Height and body build vary tremendously. These are determined can genetically. You can help Junior stay trim and physically fit, whatever body type he is naturally blessed with
