The calculator<\/a> takes your daughter’s current height and attempts to project her height when she reaches adulthood. Your daughter is currently 5’6″ at the age of twelve. Thus she is still within the typical range of a girl’s growth spurt, though on the tail end. The formula projects she will grow another 2 or 3 inches. If you say she is 13, and still 5’6″ she is past her growth spurt and only has an inch or so to go. If you say she is 17.5 and still 5’6″ she is past the age of growing and won’t gain any more height.<\/p>\nThe calculator doesn’t project a child’s height at different ages, just the final height from a known starting point.<\/p>\n
The “flaw” in the formula is that it doesn’t take into account early or late puberty. Everything is based on the average growth pattern.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
