Will I be taller than my dad?

Height is determined by the genes that you received from both your parents. It is not true that sons always grow taller than their fathers, or the world’s human population would have experienced a massive average increase in average height over successive generations.

Does your parents height affect your height?

As a general rule of thumb, your height can be predicted based on how tall your parents are. If they are tall or short, then your own height is said to end up somewhere based on the average heights between your two parents. Genes aren’t the sole predictor of a person’s height.

Will I grow taller if my parents are 5’4” and 5′6″ tall?

My mum is 5′4″ and dad is 5′6″, so I may not grow that much taller (heh my predicted height was 4′10″) but I may have a chance to hit close to 6 feet (maternal grandpa was 6′1″, maybe I got those genes). If you have tall parents (like dad is over 6 feet, mum is over 5′6″) you may end up very tall.

Is 5’8 a good height for a 14 year old?

Well I don’t see how ANYONE on a question and answer forum could tell you because it is all up to genetics. 5′8″ is a pretty good height for a 14 year old. I have 5′6″ when I was 13, now I’m 16 and my height is 6′1″. You may or may not have stopped growing.

How can I predict my height at 14?

Sit down. Measure between the ball of your hip and your knee. Divide by .26. That is a fair predictor of your adult height. Of course, there is no guarantee. I measured 5′8 when I was 14. I am 6′8 now. Mom is 5′0 dad is 6′2. U just never know. I peaked around 20 years old.
