[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Very common among girls. The important thing is to keep the nutrition and calories flowing and ride it out. My DD is a gymnast and I can think of some brilliant juniors and seniors at her gym who you would have assumed would have quit based on how their 7th and 8th grade years went. Not everyone goes through puberty at the same pace, so comparing her to girls of the same age isn’t fair to her. The other thing to consider is that 4” is a lot in one year, so if her nutrition is good now, it might have been behind in the past and so she had a lot of catching up to do. You might discuss labs with her doctor- if she’s sluggish and uncoordinated, she could have an iron deficiency or she could have other deficits that are making it hard for her to absorb iron. I would be worried about vitamin D, too.[/quote]
