Is 4 foot 7 a good height for an eleven year old boy?

People say it is short, but when I was that age (even though I am a girl) guys in general were just SHORT!

I had already spurted up a few inches during the summer, so I get really tall, like 5" 2'. It is actually an average height, he will soon have a growth spurt. Tell him it is normal, and he will soon have a growth spurt and match up with the girls.

My son is 15 and about 5'9".... considering that he is only 11, he's about average for his age. Tell him not to worry, height isn't all it's cracked up to be! Generally, boys will hit a growth spurt from the age of 12 - 15 and it's a huge one! Tell him to make sure he's eating good and getting sleep.

i dnt think of top could desire to be a controversy ... some pple advance quicker than others bt some pple finally end up catching up with something at last. Wheather she's uncomplicated or no longer dosnt actually matter selection because of the fact she's only 11 and she or he shudnt be demanding abt her top she has 8 extra years till she stops transforming into

That is short for an eleven year old.

WELL I AM 12 BUT WHEN I WAS 11 I WAS 4 FOOT 10

AND NOW I AM CONSIDERED TALL BUT THEN AGAIN I'M A GIRL SO ITS A LOT DIFFERENT

Umm kinda short but hey your probably gonna be in for a shocking growth spurt.

It doesn't matter as long as his pediatrician is not concerned. Michael Jordan was really short until he got to college. Boys don't all grow at the same rate.

Sounds normal to me, and he is probably getting ready to experience a growth spurt.

That's quite short. He should be around 5'2 - 5'3.

short...but he might suprise you with a groth spurt(sp?) he probably will
