[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with being short? [/quote]

Or really tall? Of all the things we can worry about when it comes to our kids, I just don’t understand why their eventual height would be one of them.[/quote]

Come on, people have been worrying about their girls being too tall (and their boys being too short) forever. That doesn't make it a good thing, but it is a thing.

Yes, but that was several decades back when parents worried about ANY deviation from the norm.  I think most adults agree that it doesn’t matter, it’s the kids we have to convince. [/quote]

Speaking about my own perspective, I am 5'7" and my DD is the shortest girl in her entire grade.  Most people assume that she's two years younger than her actual age due to her size.  So, in terms of kids no one wants to be the __est.  Whether that's shortest, tallest, biggest smallest, kids typically don't think about these things if they are somewhat in the middle but think about it a lot when they are the __est.  Secondly, when it come to height there is nothing wrong with being short... but if given the preference most people would want to be on the taller side of average.  While I am not worried about my DD or the impact that being short will ultimately have on her life, in full honesty I wish for her that she would've gotten my taller genes.    [/quote]

Well, maybe because you are tall, so you don’t understand that being short is no different than being tall....except your view can be obscured! Lol! But, I do agree about first statement that no kid wants to be the “-est” that’s 100% true. I think we’ve all been there! [/quote]
