Question:
Hi minister,
How many inches do boys grow to be taller than their mothers?
Answer:
In rough terms, if you take the average of your father’s and mother’s heights, then boys born to your parents will grow to a minimum of that average or up to 10 inches taller. Since in many families the mother is shorter than the father, a boy will grow taller than his mother. If the mother is taller than the father, it isn’t a guarantee that a boy will be taller than his mother.
