What is mid-parental height?

Tanner’s 1970 formula: add the parents, add 13 cm for a boy or subtract 13 cm for a girl, then divide by two. The classic range is about ±8.5 cm.

What the free predictor does

It combines the child’s current stature percentile (CDC 2000), both parents (Tanner 1970 and Luo 1998), and Khamis–Roche when age is 4–17.5 and weight is entered. The headline number stays free. The $4.99 Full Growth Report adds the range, method split, growth window, and a printable page.

What it does not do

It does not lengthen bones, reopen growth plates, or replace a pediatrician. A falling percentile, delayed puberty, or chronic illness belongs in clinic.
