[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's self-conscious about her height, maybe because she just happens to have tall friends. She's also feeling it in the field now, she just can't run as fast as her taller teammates. She's only 5 feet now, she's the shortest in her team, shortest of all the cousins the same age, the shortest girl her age in her neighborhood group, etc.  She asks me about it all the time.  I always tell her it's perfectly fine to be petite.  I'm just hoping she gets to grow a few more inches.[/quote]

I find it hard to believe she doesn’t know any kids her height or shorter. I have 12 and 14 y.o. DDs and they both have lots of friends that are under 5’. [/quote]

My DD is almost 14, 5’1”, and claims her friends are all taller than she is. I don’t see it, myself, although some certainly are. But she’s definitely developed, and wears a larger bra size than I ever did until after I had kids. She looks young, but definitely not like a little kid. Got her period at age 11, so I’m not sure how much more she’ll grow. I’m 5’7”, her dad is barely 5’10”.[/quote]
