If you have an older teenager, did they reach the height on their line in the red book?!

Inspired by another thread, I am just wondering how accurate those lines are at predicting adult height.

DS started on the 9th percentile at birth, but was on the 50th aged 1. He is now nearly 13 and is on the 98th. Even if he stops growing completely, he will be on the 50th as an adult.

DD also started on the 9th percentile, but was on the 25th aged 1 and at 14 1/2 is between the 25th and 50th. She hasn't grown at all in a year, but may grow a bit more.

So are those lines accurate?

These books are a load of crap. The calculations were based on babies who have been FF and therefore tend to have different growth patterns compared with BF babies.

My DC's height and weight are very different to how the book said these should be at various stages.
