Height Prediction

Parents often have questions about how tall their kids will be. Although there are many methods to predict a child's future height, one that is popular is to just double their height at age 2 years. This formula uses simple linear regressions based on the Fels Longitudinal Study data, a method made popular by Prof. Harry Khamis, to make this method more accurate.

So at 35.25 inches Bryce is predicted to be 5'11". Only time will tell.
