Question
A 6-and-a-half-year-old boy is 124 centimeters tall and weighs 26 kilograms. Is this within the normal range? Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: Checked as normal two years ago
Answer
The normal weight range for a 6-year-old boy should be between 10.61 and 20.64 kilograms, with a height of 86.3 to 109.4 centimeters. Every child has individual differences in height and weight, so as long as a child’s height and weight are within the normal range, there is no need to force them to exceed the average for their age group. If the average of a normal or taller child exceeds two standard deviations from the mean, it is necessary to consider developmental delay or accelerated growth, and a further check-up should be done at a hospital.
