Expected height: The expected height at maturity is based on gender and the average height of the parents. Mom+ dad /2 + 2.5 inches for a male and -2.5 inches if a female. By the age of 2-3 yrs you can get some indication of those who will differ from this expectation. You can download growth charts from the cdc website and follow your kids growth pattern if you wish. See www.Cdc.Gov/growthcharts.
