How tall are your 6 year old daughters?

[Iris2017]

How tall are your 6 year old daughters? The reason I ask this question is because during the past couple of weeks, i've noticed stretch marks on the upper thighs of my daughter -she's almost 6 yrs old. Not overweight, but very tall for her age. Currently 124.5cm. I'm 6 feet tall, and her brother is very tall, and has a couple of stretch marks on his lower back (not overweight in the slightest). Should I be concerned about the stretch marks? How do I make them stop? Even though she's not overweight, should I cut back on meals for her, even though I think the stretch marks are a result of her growing in height? Would that help? She's a size 9-10 in clothing largely because of height. I had stretch marks growing up, but mainly because of weight. I want to spare her from going through the embarrassment of not being able to wear what she wants because of stretch marks.

Mine’s 124 too.

How much does she weigh? I wouldn't cut bck on food unless she is tall due to being overweight which sounds unlikely here.

You're seriously thinking of putting her on a diet even though you know she's shooting up in height, not weight?

FWIW my DD is 6y2m and is 122cm.

HeyRoly I asked a question. Take your fucking judgment elsewhere.

Please dont slate HeyRoly she has a point.

Even though she's not overweight, should I cut back on meals for her

I'm not slating, I just can't understand the rationale at all. Not to mention how awful it would be for the child to have her portion sizes cut and notice it; ask for more food and be refused.

So feel free to explain why cutting this child's food intake might be a good idea, and I'll concede that my tone was unnecessarily appalled.

How much does she weigh?

My 6 year old is around 128cm but she's closer to 7

Dd is nearly 6 and 123 cm. Weight on the 50% percentile. She's tall but not usually so.

My dd2 is 6 tomorrow she is 112cm, about average for her age I think. Wears age 5-6 clothes.

My almost-6-year-old daughter is about 124 cm tall and in age 5 to 6 clothing. She's one of the taller girls in her class, but not the tallest. WHO charts put her around 90% for height, so not dramatically tall. I'm afraid that a 6 year old in age 9 to 10 clothing and around the same height must be quite overweight? Not saying this to be harsh, not at all.

My 6yo is 120cm - seems below average for her Y2 class. She's wearing 6-7 bottoms/dressed for leg length, still 5-6 or even 4-5 in tops.

7.5 and 128cm

6 but very nearly 7 and she's 120cm

Wearing anything from 4-5 -6-7 depending on what it is.

Mine is 129cm and wears 8-9 year clothes.
6.5
Always been tall.

Dd has just turned 6 and is 129cm, she's only just started wearing 7/8 size clothing. What weight is your dd?

Dd1 is 6.7 and around 132cm and wears a mix of 7-8, 8-9 or 9-10 clothing - usually bigger skirts and dresses so that they aren't indecent lengthwise.
She is a bit overweight too so I am trying to make sure she's doing a lot of sport and eating healthily without making a big issue of it. I haven't noticed any stretch marks on her though.

I'm quite impressed that everyone knows how tall their children are - I don't know exactly how tall mine is, but I would have guessed roughly around 120 -125 cm. She wears some 5-6 clothes, mostly 6-7, sometimes 7-8 in trousers. 9-10 would definitely swamp her. She is one of the 3 tallest girls in her class.

Mine is 6.5, around 130cm and is 75th percentile for weight so in a healthy ratio. She wears anything from 5-6 (tops only) to 7-8, occasionally 9-10, for height. She is one of the tallest in her year, with long legs that win her races!

My dd is 6.5 and 127cms. She wears 7-8 clothes that fit from most places. She’s average in her class, yr 2

That seems very short to be wearing age 8-9 clothes. DD was about 128cm when she started to need 8-9 clothes in just about all shops rather than a couple where they size small or it was something that I wanted to get good wear from.

DD is 6.4 and 110cm. She eats really well. Not sure there is much of a relationship between food intake and height (apart from in extreme circumstances), it’s more down to genetics.

you know there are actual charts available, are you able to work this out or do you need more help?

stretch marks are genetic

129, almost 7, underweight. On the tall side but by no means the tallest in her age group, I'd say 1/4 or 1/5 of the girls in her year are as tall as her.

I too can't see your rationale. Please don't make your daughter self-conscious about stretch marks.

My dd is 6 years old 130 cm and 38kg
