The height standard for children varies depending on their age and is generally defined differently than the adult height standards. Here’s a general outline of average growth rates for boys and girls:
- Infants (0-1 year): 22-28 inches (55-70 cm)
- Toddlers (1-3 years): 24-33 inches (60-84 cm)
- Preschool-age children (4-5 years): 34.6-41.9 inches (88-106 cm) for boys, and 33.8-40.9 inches (86-104 cm) for girls
- School-age children (6-10 years): 44.3-54.7 inches (112-139 cm) for boys, and 42.2-51.1 inches (107-130 cm) for girls
For specific height standards or growth charts at different ages, it’s best to check with your child’s doctor or a reliable health organization like the World Health Organization (WHO).
