Estimates for normal growth rates in children

Normal length or height at various ages during childhood, and the growth rate between those timepoints, are approximated by multiples of five when measured in centimeters (this is sometimes termed the "rule of fives"). Actual height and growth rate in a healthy child can vary substantially around these approximations.

* Growth rates may be considerably higher in the later end of this age range for children who have entered their pubertal growth spurt. In females, the pubertal growth spurt typically starts around age 10, but it may start as early as age 8 in those who mature early. In males, the pubertal growth spurt typically starts around age 12, but it may start as early as age 10 in those who mature early.
