How tall is your 13-14 year old DD?

[AjasLipstick]

Mine's only 5.1 ....is that really small? When do they stop growing?

My dd, was about 4’9” in October when she had just turned 14, I don’t think she has grown a lot since then, I read that they stopped growing two years after starting their periods,don’t know if that’s true, but if it is her growing time is nearly up!
I don’t know why she is so tiny, two of her older brothers are nearly 6ft.

"You will also grow in height. This “growth spurt” happens very quickly. On average, girls grow about 3 inches (8 cm) per year during the growth spurt. Girls usually stop growing taller about 2 years after starting their menstrual period."

Mind you I am not that tall at 5’3”

Nothing wrong with being short anyway.
There was a thread the other day about parenting tall children.
Eh?
Are there different types of parenting depending on the height of your child?

dd1 is 14 and 5ft.

We're all short, and shes used to being the smallest of her friends. Some of them tower over me.

Ha, me too.
Dd's boyfriend is 6'5!

My Dd just got measured at the hospital on Saturday and she’s 5ft 6ins she’s 15, she’s taller than me her dad is 6ft

Parenting tall children that is hilarious

Mine is coming 14 soon and is 4 foot 10 and about 6 stone. I am pretty tall, as is DH so I do expect a sudden growth spurt any day now, though I have been saying that for years haha. Doesn't bother her in the slightest, in fact she likes being small so will be disappointed if and when she does shoot up. Her feet haven't grown in a couple of years either and are size 2, smaller than her much younger sibling.

13 and a half DD, 149cm (4ft 10.6inch).
Already had main growth spurt. 19yo sister is only 5ft2. DD2 will be smaller.

I always heard girls stopped soon after their periods started..

Every day's a school day on here! I never knew that. It explains why I was 5'5" at 11 and stopped growing at 12, when I was 5'6". My periods started when I was 10.5.

My mum thought I was going to be a bloody giant. I was the tallest child in my last year in primary and taller than most of the teachers.

The parent/OP of the tall parenting thread had a two yr old.
Nowt as queer as folk.

Mine's only 5.1 ....is that really small?

It's my height now as a grow adult. I don't find it really short tbh, though it sounds it. I know several women that height and shorter, of a range of ages.

DD was about 5'3 at 13/14. She's now 5'4" at 16y and has been a while - can't see her growing any more.

Her female friends of the same age seem to range between about 5'1" and 6'1".

My 13 yo dd is about 5'6 but I am tall so only to be expected

I read that they stopped growing two years after starting their periods,

DD started her periods at 10y; stopped growing at about 14/15y.

DD2 is 14 and 5'11" (possibly still growing but has slowed down a lot - grew 6" from aged 11-13)

DD1 was 5'5" at aged 12 and then stopped growing.

DH is a giant.
I am tall(ish)

I was 5"1 at 13 and still 5"1 at 24

Never had the elusive mythical "growth spurt"

Im 4ft 10 (and over 40!).

I started my periods at 13 and didn't grow anymore after that.

5 foot 11. She's 13. I am 5 foot 1.

BTW, OP, if your DD ends up being 5 foot 1, there's nowt wrong with that. Other than not being able to see at gigs!

My 13 yo dd is 5 foot 9 with size 8 feet.

While the stats about periods and ending growth and growth rates at particular ages may apply at population level, that doesn't mean they will apply to individuals.

DD1 started periods at 13 and 5 ft 6. She is now 17 and 5'9, not done growing yet. DD2 is 15 and hasn't started periods yet (but is developing normally and we have a history of late onset on my side) - she's 5'8 and still growing.

I would like to point out I did put usually not always stop growing, I realise everyone is different!

Sorry, misread it as DS.

I was in Western Australia a few years ago and at 5ft 2, felt a pretty average height amongst the women I saw.

DD is 13 and very nearly 5'4, that's very tall compared to all the other women in the family 😂
