Height of my 10 year old son

Height of my 10 year old son

My 10 year old  son looks quite tall among his peers. He is 5'9 and weighs 190 pounds. Most children his age seem to some up to his shoulders. Our neighbors 12 year old son, who is average in height, (4'11-5'0) is still much smaller. My husband is 6'6 and I am 6'1. What percentile is he on for the growth chart?

It's not surprising that he is of tall stature, given the height of you and his father. He is above the 95th percentile in both height and weight. While height is not subject to control, his weight is a problem and he should be evaluated. Carrying that much weight places him at serious medical risk and intervention would be prudent.
