just be aware that boys and girls are not on average the same hieght and children with conditions such as down's Syndrome tend to be shorter than other children. Best and easiest way to see the average height of children at a given age is to look at a growth chart (in the Red child health books) find the childs age and read of the hieght from the middle line they always give height and weight in cm and kg. I guess it's easier if you have easy access to a red book. |

okay - at the age of two - if they run into the doorhandle/table edge then it hits them just above the eye - at the age of four it gets them right in the jugular area cueing muchus panic around the house so - its up to the door handle and then add one head |

Paul in conclusion my (almost) three year old nephew comes up to my hip and my five year old niece is about up to the waist - maybe a touch higher |

Same with my cousin, however, my other cousin is 4, and if he's half his adult height, he should be about 5ft 6ish. |

'By the end of the second year infants have reached approximately half of their adult height. Studies have shown that length at birth does not correlate well to eventual adult height, but relates best to maternal size. The influence of the paternal height gradually increases until by 2 years of age the infant's length correlates best to mean parental height. ' http://www.hini.org/HINI/growth.htm |
