[quote=Anonymous]I have a son who turned 3 last month and is 41" tall. I also have a daughter who will be 5 in a few days and she is just a hair taller- maybe .5" or so. People constantly discuss their height and talk about how tall he is and how he'll be bigger than she is soon. We also get asked a lot of if their twins, I'm assuming because of the height similarities. Lately, DD has become sensitive about the height issue and will very defensively state that she is taller than he is. She'll throw her arms around DS to make him stand still so people can compare their height. She's slated to be short, while he most likely will be much taller, so this will be an issue all their life. How do I help her with this developing awareness and dislike that her brother is almost as tall? Is it a big deal or am I reading too much into this?[/quote]
