A member asked:
My son is 11 and is about 4'9. i am 5'2 and his father is 6'3. my mom is 4'9 and my dad is 6'. i am afraid my son will be short. or will he be tall?

Shorter than dad: Unfortunately, mom and dad both contribute equally to expected height.Boys are expected to reach the average of parental height plus 2.5 inches. This would be about 5'11".He is average height for an 11 yo and the average for male adults is 5'10. So it is most likely that he will be shorter than dad, but average for the population.
