[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just keep explaining that everybody is different and grows at their own pace. I was really short in childhood but still grew to 5’4”. My kids have been all over the place in their height. My 10 year old is 53 inches after a big growth spurt , she’s around 20th percentile after being 5-10th for years. While there are two much taller girls in her class most of them aren’t noticeably taller than her. Her 6 year old sibling is now 50 inches and I’m sure will catch up with her as well. She isn’t concerned about her height, though. At least not yet.
 My 13 year old has been the tallest in her class for a while and she hates it so I think everyone just wants to be average height. [/quote]
You must have a 4th grader.  My 10 yo is in 5th grade and there are a number of girls in her class who are 5'2"-5'6".  She's 4'5" and the shortest in her class, girl scout troop, soccer team and basketball team. There a big spurt at this age, so you start seeing many noticably taller girls.  Last year only a couple of girls were very tall and now it's more like 2/3 are tall and 1/3 are still pre-spurt.[/quote]
