DD is 7 and in year three....one of the youngest. She is suddenly looking rather short net to the others..measured her today and she comes up at 4 feet exactly.

Is that short? Or are all the kids here giants? She's 8 in July....how tall are your 7/8 year olds please?

I KNOW I abu to ask this here but bugger it.

Dd is in year 3 will be 8 in May she's 125cm so 4 foot 2. She's small compared to peers doesn't seem to be growing much recently either!

Hippomaniac · 27/02/2012 20:07

DS1 is only 4ft 2 and he will be 9 in July.

Francagoestohollywood · 27/02/2012 20:17

Dd will be 8 in May and she is about 130 cm.

Francagoestohollywood · 27/02/2012 20:19

feet and inches? Shock Is it 4.3?

HexagonalQueenOfTheSummer · 27/02/2012 20:22

DD2 is 7, 8 in October, and is 127cm

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 27/02/2012 20:28

DS1 is nearly 8 and he is 138cm

Bunbaker · 27/02/2012 20:30

DD measured 4ft 1 inch the day after her 7th birthday. Don't feel disheartened, there are a lot of taller than average children on here.

OvO · 27/02/2012 20:35

My DS1 is 7.5 and exactly 4ft. I looks neither noticeably shorter or taller than any of his friends so I though he was average height.

AngelsWithSilverWings · 27/02/2012 20:36

my DS is just a bit over 4ft 4 and will be 7 in October - year 1 - tallest in his year. ( size 2.5 shoes!) Costs me a small fortune in trousers and shoes.

popelloucla · 27/02/2012 20:45

DD1 is 116cm or 3ft 9 and a bit inches.
She is Y3 and the smallest in her class, but also one of the youngest in the class.
She has been tested for everything under the sun, but she is just small.

melodyangel · 27/02/2012 20:46

DS2 is 7 (year 3 - late summer baby) and is 4ft.

neverputasockinatoaster · 27/02/2012 20:57

DS is 4 foot 4 and will be 8 in October.

midoriway · 27/02/2012 20:58

DD is 6.5, 4 foot 4, and in size 3 shoes. She is a very tall girl. I plan to retire in ten years time and sponge off her income as a supermodel.

DamnBamboo · 27/02/2012 20:58

DS1 will be 7 on Saturday and is 1.40m

He is very, very tall.

He is also a size 3.5 shoe Shock

DamnBamboo · 27/02/2012 21:00

Sorry, that's 4 feet 7.

I only do metric measurements

midoriway · 27/02/2012 21:01

Damnbamboo, lets play match maker, marry our children off, and create a new super tall race of people.

DamnBamboo · 27/02/2012 21:03

Grin midori

I feel like a good jewish mother now, will he be a doctor?

DamnBamboo · 27/02/2012 21:05

Well his father and I both are, so actually we are hoping for an artistic type perhaps.

He will probably disappoint me and become a doctor I'm sure.

midoriway · 27/02/2012 21:07

Oh Damnbamboo, my heart is fluttering, all I have to do is get her to stop scratching her bum crack in public and she will be very presentable.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/02/2012 21:11

Here's the centile chart for height for girls, in cm, sorry.

fabwoman · 27/02/2012 21:12

My 6.8 year old is 122cm and my 8.6 year old is 130cm.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/02/2012 21:13

4 foot is 122cm, so she looks pretty average for a 7 yo.

loopydoo · 27/02/2012 21:13

Just turned 7 yr old - 122cm

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/02/2012 21:15

This is the centile chart for boys.
