Instructions
Step 1
In order to correctly measure your height, get a solid building meter (wood or metal) that does not bend in the air.
Step 2
Take off your shoes and stand with your back against the wall. Connect your socks and heels, straighten your shoulders, place your neck upright, do not slouch. Do not lower or lift your head. Press your heels, buttocks, and shoulder blades against the wall.
Step 3
Fix the top point of the head and make a mark on the wall. If you cannot do it yourself, ask someone to help you. When applying the label, be sure to exclude hair, as a fluffy hairstyle can add one to five centimeters of growth to a person.
Step 4
Measure the distance from the mark to the floor using a building meter - you will get a value that is your exact height.
Step 5
Measure the height of your children by making marks on the door jamb or using a special stadiometer tape that is attached to the wall or to the jamb. The bright tape with beautiful patterns and a place to write the baby's name and measurement date is very handy. One side of such a meter is sticky, so it is very easy to attach the tape to the jamb. Children will happily measure their height.
