[quote=Anonymous]My 11-year-old is 5'6", so I can relate. We host a fair amount of kids or take them to age-appropriate activities (time at parks, rock climbing, rollerskating, book events for tweens, standup paddleboarding, board games etc.) She dresses age-appropriately but it is a challenge and not always particularly high-end stuff (H&M jeans, juniors sizes found online @ Belk or Macys etc.) I think you have to give them space to be kids free of others' intervention (mixed-age and group settings helped us) and also say something when you feel adults are expecting too much. Good luck![/quote]
