[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8 year old girl who is 5 feet tall.  It profoundly affects her socially and emotionally.   So much sympathy for you.  We have her in therapy to talk through it and to work on self image.  My approach - with advice of therapist - is to try things that become her “thing.”  She is too young for tall girl team sports, so we are doing things like theater and climbing. [/quote]

She can definitely do track and basketball right now.

Regardless, your family seems to be having an oversized reaction to your kid being tall.[/quote]

Not everyone who is taller than average wants to play basketball or run.  Team sports aren’t for everyone.   At our school basketball for girls is not popular like basketball for boys.

My daughter was 4’9” at 8 years old so 5’ is.not freakishly tall.  [/quote]
Yes, but the PP said her 8 year old DD was too young for tall girl sports, which is not true.  Basketball is a wonderful sport to play at any age.[/quote]
