Should I be concerned about my dd's height - is she too tall??

[MeAndMyGirl]

Hi

My DD has always been tall for her age - she is 5 next week and in size 9/10 clothes and adult size 2 feet. I am not concerned but she is starting to become self-conscious. The nursery commented today that she is trying to stoop so she is not towering over the other children. The nursery also hinted that I should take her to the doctors to be checked.
I have talked to family and friends and I don't think I need to take her to the doctor - she has been in last year for minor ailments and the doctor has not commented on her height. She also attended childrens hospital when younger and they commented then that she was likely to be a giant.
I don't want to make an issue of her height if she is just naturally tall - or do you think I should be concerned??

That's so true about people's expectations. A women told my daughter off in the supermarket for running around and not coming when she was called and told me how disobedient she thought she was and why wasn't she at school - that's when I told her she was only 2 and questioned if she had children of her own and if they were perfectly behaved at 2!

The only thing I wlould be concerned about is the fact that she is wearing 9/10 yo clothes.

My dd, aged 8, is 135cm, and wears 8/9 yrs sizes (and sometimes the 7/8 yr sizes will do).

Why would a child who is 120cm need clothes designed for a 140cm child?
