  • I don't know how likely it is, but I know my oldest turned 10 in September and is 5' tall already. From what I remember from his yearly physical he's in the 90th percentile or so for height. 4'7" sounds normal to me for that age.

  • My son is 8.5 and 4 ft 3 (last time we measured him, he's probably taller now). He's always been in the 90+ percentile for his height/weight/age. That's sounds about average for a 10 year old.

  • My son will be 11 in June and he's standing at 5 ft. I know last June closer to this 10th birthday he was around 4' 7". He's also about average height from all his peers. Some of the boys he hangs out with a taller some are smaller.

  • This question kind of made me chuckle. My dh was always little. When we were 14 we were the same height, 4'10''. I never grew any taller. By our Junior year, at 16, dh was 5'8''. He stopped growing at 5'10''.
