[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest issue with having a tall child is that they expect your child to be older than she is and act that way. When your 8 year old is more than 5 feet tall, they get looks and even comments when they are playing with age appropriate toys or reading a children's book because they expect her to be in middle school. My DD who is 6 ft at 14 is expected to act like she's in high school all the time. [/quote] I hear you. I have one tall DD (5'9") at 15 and a very short DD (10th% at 8, skipped a grade, so extremely short for class). The flip is true for the short one. When she was 3 she looked like 18 months and spoke like a 4 year old. I got comments about her "genius" all the time. I used to correct people and say, she's only a little advanced. Then it got so old I would just smile and say thanks. OP, my older DD was 99th% until puberty and while she grew some kids grew taller. I think she's 70-something% now, tall, not super tall.[/quote]
