[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 11 year old is 4' 9", and unlikely to grow much more.  My mom is 4' 8".  I'm 5'1".  We're just a short family, but it hasn't held any of us back in any way.  Please assure your DD that it's okay to be short.  Like most things that are skin deep, this doesn't have a huge impact on your life,[b] beyond minor annoyances like finding clothes that fit (but offset by the fact that even economy seat on airlines are just fine[/b]).[/quote]
pro: a bit  more room on the seat
con: those seats are uncomfortable because our heads don't hit the headrest.  I wad up my sweater and put behind me, plus my legs dangle, like a kid LOL  I just rest it on my carryon.

pro: can shop in kids section for certain things like socks, which is much cheaper. I bought a nice ski pants in the youth section for half the price of a woman's ski pants
con: harder to find nicer off the rack clothing for petites. A lot of them seem to be made for middle aged/elderly women

My 12.5 yr old DD is 4'9. Hasn't hit her period yet. She wears a woman size 5.5 to 6 shoe size, so I'm thinking she has more growing to do.

Both DH and I were late bloomers.  DH is 6'2.
