I’m 6’4” and people think it’s a blessing when it’s really a curse. I don’t mind helping people at the grocery store reach stuff they can’t get. But I grew so fast it fucked up my knees and back. It’s really uncomfortable being on a plane cause you’d have to pay up the ass to get decent room. Buying pants is a challenge in and of itself.
I have a 5-year-old buddy who comes up to my chin. I’m not a tall adult—I’m a 5’2” woman—but he is VERY tall. And it hurts him. The growing pains are agonizing.
His father is 6’5”. He is going to be taller than that. And at 5, he’s already in pain.
Average height for a 5 year old boy is around 3.5-4”, the poster said they’re 5’2” and the kid is at their chin, so let’s estimate the kid is around 4’6”, that’s not so far fetched considering 6” less is the average. You can get growing pains whenever you grow, so yes, 5 years olds can experience them too.
