Is this a right hight for his age?

Question

4foot 9 inches at age 13 about to turn 14

Answer 1

Genetics plays a good role is age and height. If any relatives were at the same age and height, there's really nothing you can do to change that. by the way, at age 13, your body is still growing so don't worry about your height right now. Enjoy being a teenager!

Answer 2

That is really short. The average height for a 13 year old is 5'4-5'5. It looks like he is below the 3rd percentile for his height according to 13 years and 10 months of age. Does this run in your family? Zinc deficiency is known to stunt growth. I suggest you try zinc picolinate.
