Dr. Chheda – Everybody always has questions about the growth chart and the percentiles. But honestly, I don’t really care what percentile you are on the growth chart. Where you are on the growth chart, the percentile, is really determined by genetics. If both parents are only 5 feet tall, the child is never gonna hit 100 percentile. And if both parents are 6 feet tall, if the child is at the fifth percentile, that’s a problem. So where you fall on the chart, whatever your percentile is, is completely determined by genetics. What I really look for is to make sure you’re following a nice parallel curve with the lines. That means that you’re growing at a normal velocity for your age.
