Height chart - as a child compared to how tall they ended up?

[3boysandadog23]

My 3 (nearly 4) year old son is on the 9th centile for height. I’m surprised as both my husband and I are quite tall. Can you really go by these height health visitor charts or is it a load of rubbish? Did your children end up shorter/taller than predicted? Thank you

don't worry some kids are late bloomers, some grow early on, so the percentiles on a young age say next to nothing. Only thing is that when they do follow the curves, and suddenly drop on it, then there may be a health issue. So it is not the percentile that is important (unless they are way below or above[ but whether they follow a curve.

Thank you so much for responding! I have been worrying about this a lot the more I have thought about it but you have put my mind at ease. He is pretty much sticking to the curve so hopefully it’s not ring to be concerned about!
