[quote=Anonymous]My DD is almost 14 but looks very young for her age: she's very small, way down at the very bottom of the growth charts. Nothing medically wrong: just a late bloomer descended from a lot of late bloomers. She is constantly being handed children's menus at restaurants, asked if she's in fifth grade, etc., and she hates it. Because she is so small, she also can't yet shop for adult sized clothes: she still wears a kids large (10-12). She finds all this embarrassing, and has asked me for help developing a more "grown up" look. She doesn't want the Abercrombie or Pink version of "grownup," thank goodness-- she just wants to look a little more sophisticated and less like she is ten years old.

I was thinking of taking her to have a make-up lesson at a nice day spa, but wondered if others have any suggestions for where to shop or what else I can do to help her. I remind her that she will eventually grow, but rot now that is not much consolation and her self confidence is taking a hit... Advice?[/quote]
