Question
What is the standard height and weight for a 6-year-old child?
Answer
On average, a newborn weighs 3 kilograms at birth. In the first six months after birth, the average weight gain is 0.7 kilograms per month; in the following six months, it is 0.5 kilograms per month. By one year old, the weight is typically 10.2 kilograms, and by two years old, it is approximately four times the birth weight. After two years, the average annual weight gain is 2 kilograms. The formula for calculating a child’s weight from 2 to 12 years old is: Weight = (Age - 2) × 28 kilograms.
