Is there a correlation with younger siblings being taller?

Im actually curious on this topic as I see this rather often where the younger brother is up to 2-3 inches taller than the oldest sibling. This will probably apply to me as my younger brother who's 13 is about to surpass me and im 16. Same thing happened with my dad who's 5'10 while brother is 6'1. Any thoughts on this?

Yeah, parenting improves with each kid as they learn from their mistakes. The oldest sibling takes the blows, the younger siblings are more spoiled thus grow taller from better food availability and less stress.

I am taller than both my older brothers, but my dad is the oldest and the tallest. Also one of my brother probably cooked himself since he never drank milk or ate dairy

that's interesting as I wasn't breast fed while my brother was and I was a picky eater as a kid so that probably screwed me over

picky eaters grow tall because they only want to eat the good stuff whereas the hogs eat a ton of vegetable slop which stunts their growth
