This.

I’m a PP with a 9 year old who was 52 inches at her well visit and I’m disgusted by the perspective of OP and of that self-hating spitoon-souled woman here making being shorter - especially when it just means shorter FOR NOW since these kids are 9. I hate you both, for real. My kid is currently smaller than others, but thank god my husband and I aren’t idiots and are blessed to have her, healthy and happy and bright. Mine at least is showing zero signs of puberty, and both of our mothers were relatively late (and taller than average) bloomers.

We cannot control our height. Why - WHY - would a parent contribute to a still very young child’s anxiety about being shorter or the insane, and utterly false idea, that taller is always better? I just don’t understand it at all.[/quote]

Op here - you seem very triggered by this post. I have never said anything to her about her height. She mentioned it to me in passing since she has two eyes and can see her younger sister is just about the same height as her and her younger brother by 5 years is getting closer to her height every day.

I want to make sure I say the right thing to give her confidence. [/quote]
