How tall will my daughter be?

Question

I'm 167 cm and my husband is 160. My daughter is 4.5 years old and is 97 cm. She was born weighting 2.750 kilos and is a few centimeters shorter than the shortest kid in her class in kindergarten. She eats well and all her tests show her to be a perfectly healthy girl.
My husband's parents and sisters are rather short also (shorter than my husband) and the female members have had their periods starting at quite an early age.
How tall is my daughter likely to be and what can I do to raise her height.
P.S. I don't live in the US or Europe, so please suggest ways and things that I would be able to take/do.

Answer 1

Good nutrition does play a role in how tall people grow, as many vitamins and minerals - calcium and vitamin D are two of the important ones - work together to form our bones. So a diet featuring plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, adequate protein, whole grains rather than refined starches, in as wide a variety of different foods as possible, is the way you can make sure your daughter reaches the height her genetics have coded into her. If there are multi-vitamin and mineral supplements available in your area that are affordable, you may wish to use those to make sure that all the necessary nutrients are present in adequate supply in your daughter's diet. But that's pretty much all you can do.

Answer 2

There is very little you can do besides feed her well-and quit obsessing. She is, as you say, a perfectly healthy girl. Millions of parents on this earth would love to be able to say the same about their own child.

Here is a test to help predict your child's height----

Answer 3

Research has shown that if you add the height of both parents, divide that # by two, add 2.5 inches for males or subtract 2.5 inches for females. Children will grown to that height plus of minus 1 inch.

Answer 4

Well she would efinitely be shorter than you as i worked it out as there is a certain formula you can use anyway well i suggest giving her alot of milk and calcium products as if she starts now and get's into the habit she will reach her maximum height later in the future.

Answer 5

Just make sure your daughter eats healthy foods. Don't give her coffee. Other than that there is nothing you can do about how tall or short someone is going to be.

Answer 6

Generally children reach double the height they are at age 2 - did you happen to measure her around then??

Answer 7

Ok there is no way to tell how tall she will be.
My parents are both short and my brother is almost 6'

Answer 8

She will be the tallest girl on earth. I would call in a architect to raise the ceiling and doors costing around £20,000 pounds

Answer 9

Can't really answer that. I lost my crystal ball last week.

Answer 10

nobody can answer that.........she will grow as tall as she's supposed to be. could you predict how tall you were going to be?
