I am from a family in which many of the women are 5’10” or over, and the men are mostly between 6’ and 6’6”.

It’s amazing how children grow differently. It is very hard to predict how tall a boy or girl will be as an adult by looking at their height when they are 10 years old.

You can check your children height at 18 months old and it will give you a clue as to how tall they are going to be when they are grown.

Unfortunately I forget the equation, it was a long time ago. But it was right on for my daughter

Exactly

I was 4’11” at 17 and 5’10” at 18, my Uncle was 5’ at 18 and 6’3” at 21

True, but it is VERY easy to do when they are 2. Simply double their height on their 2nd birthday. Has worked every time for me.
