Adult height estimate
Pediatricians use the mid-parental height to see whether a child's growth fits their family. Most children end up within about 4 inches of this number either way.
Likely adult height range
5′ 6″ – 6′ 2″
Middle of the range: 5′ 10″
This is a family-based estimate, not a prediction. Nutrition, sleep, health conditions and the timing of puberty all play a part. If your child's height is moving away from their usual growth curve, or looks very different from this range, bring it up at the next checkup.
