I can’t believe how small so many of these 10 year olds are. It sounds unhealthy 
-Parent to 3 kids who are over the 99th percentile

My 10 year old was nearly 90 pounds and very thin. I find it hard to believe that if she put on around 10 more lbs she would have been unhealthy.
You are clueless.
No. My 11 year old is 77 pounds, tall and thin but not VERY thin. So someone a year younger and 13 pounds heavier is not “very thin.”
Maybe your 11 yo is not nearly as tall or muscular as the PP’s 10 yo. Kids at this age are all over the map heightwise, as other posters have commented. And there are gender differences with bone and muscular density too.

I was over 100 pounds at 10. I was at the 95th percentile for height. Was not chubby at all.
I’m guessing you are remembering this wrong. My 11 year old is also very tall and weighs 77 lbs.
No, it’s in fact burned into my brain, I recall everyone in my 4th grade friend group sharing our weights. And I lied and said 79 bc I was too embarrassed to say 90, since they were all 70s, or less. A year later I was 100lb (at 10, mid 5th). Trust me, these are details those of us who are outside the average don’t usually forget.
I was 5’8” and a size 7 juniors in high school, so not big

You have no idea how talk her kid is. You seem really invested in having a skinny kid. Its not a badge of honor.

You don’t know that. Some 10 yr old girls are 5 ft + with periods
Some 5th graders are larger than I am. Doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.
It doesn’t mean anything to you, since you don’t know the context. I was 5’5” 125 at 11 in 6th grade. I’m 39 and still the same height and weight. Some girls go through puberty at 10-11 and reach their adult size earlier
It’s rare. Most just go up from there. And wait until they start drinking and/or have a couple babies.
It is absolutely not rare for girls to reach their full adult heighr by 5th or 6th grade. Its very common.
I work in a middle school with 6-8th grade. The size difference between the two grades is astronomical. I’m not saying it’s impossible for someone to be full height in 5th or 6th but it is most definitely not “very common” and they also still continue to gain weight.
Extremely common for GIRLS to be done growing by 6th grade.

I was full grown by 12 and never had a "skinny phase" so I probably weighed close to 100 at 10. At 50, I am maybe an inch taller than I was in middle school and 5 pounds heavier (115 pounds and 5'4).
Kids follow all sorts of growth patterns and there is a large range that is normal.

Don't feel the need to defend your child to this clown.

People have different body types, and it doesn’t magically happen as an adult.
My oldest son is tall and slim. 5’11”, maybe 125. My youngest is 5’ even, and weighs 100 pounds. He is BUILT, like a strong safety. At 10. He just has always had a bunch of muscle packed onto his frame. He weighed more than or just as much as his older brother for years.
Both perfectly healthy, just completely different body types.
