A member asked:

My child is 4'9 at almost 12 will he be short as an adult? dad is really tall at 6'3 and i am 5'2.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Growth velocity: He may not have started his growth spurt. His estimated adult height based upon parental height is 6'1". Check in with your child's pediatrician to determine whether he has started puberty and to review his growth chart.
