This thread almost seems like a joke. As a 5’11 woman it never crossed my (or my parents’) mind to worry about my height. I was prob already 5’8+ at her age. Only annoying thing was buying shoes and pants that fit, and the boys and some friends being SO much shorter in Middle school. I would often stand with my legs further apart/at an angle to be shorter so I could hear the conversations. But that stopped when everybody caught up a bit :)
Some of my closest friends in college I met in my dorm freshman year, and were as tall as I was. Because I grew up not thinking of it as a negative thing and having tall friends, we thought it was funny that people would refer to us as the Amazons when we would show up to parties together and never gave it a second thought

I agree with everyone else, if there are any coordination issues, you can talk to your doctor, but otherwise she’s lucky to live in a time where it is much easier to buy big shoes and long pants :-) she will absorb the tone you take so teach her to love her height![/quote]
