[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a counterpoint that it's tough for kids this age to be outside of the normal range in general. My healthy and happy 10 y/o DD is around 59" now, and has always been at the tip top of the growth charts and a head taller than all of the girls (and most of the boys). Short or tall, kids on the ends of the ranges will get some comments about their height, and the best thing you can do as a parent is to speak positively about it and build their confidence and sense of self. My DD has some friends that are on the shorter side of the charts and look like peanuts standing next to my child. But they all embrace their differences and can joke about it. Sometimes mine says she wishes she was shorter "like everyone else," but knows that there is no "like everyone else" because everyone is unique and still growing and changing. [/quote] But OP’s DD is average or above average… she is not short or thin![/quote]
