I noticed that taller parents have taller kids, which is similar. I wonder if there's some kind of mechanism underneath both correlations.

- drewcoo 3y agoI'd never thought of "tall" as a behavior.
- afandian 3y agoThere’s a behavioural component. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/08/scientists-try-to-answer-why-dutch-people-are-so-tall https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/08/scientists-try...
- runsWphotons 3y agoI like that this article has a wrong conversion in the first sentence.
- scotty79 3y agoThat's the point of the comment. That behavior is as likely to be shaped by genetics as any other trait. There's not as much unique stuff about behavior as people usually think.
- baz00 3y agoMyself and my ex wife are quite tall. All my kids are short. YMMV.

- paulryanrogers 3y agoIME one only has to worry about the taller and more handsome ones. (Being a shorter person that's usually all of them in my case.)
- boringuser2 3y agoYou might want to get a DNA test.
- cbsks 3y agoAh, that’s a common problem with children. You need to wait a few years. They’ll grow out of it.
- Dolototo 3y agoBehavior patterns are patterns you learn because you just see it every day. You can already see this in a lot of kids and recognize their parents through it.
- scotty79 3y agoBehavior can be genetic. Sometimes at wedding you can see which part is the brides (or grooms) family bacause they all have the same worried look and wrinkles shaped by it.
- Dolototo 3y agoI don't think so. There are probably plenty of examples of kids in foster care who do not share those behavior patterns
- fastasucan 3y agoYou don’t think behavior can be genetic?
- sumedh 3y ago> I noticed that taller parents have taller kids, Probably because of genes and access to nutritious food.
- jareklupinski 3y agoas a tall parent, I am able to pick up my offspring by the arms, and let them 'grow down' until they reach their full length
- toast0 3y agoIt's also important to install shower heads at a tall height. Children prefer to be watered from above.
- gnicholas 3y agoThis finding is even less surprising, since it could come about by either nature or nurture — whereas height is mostly determined by nature, in the absence of malnutrition.
