5ft tall at 9.5!

[Rory17384949]

As the title says my 9.5 year old DD is already just over 5ft tall. She is very tall compared to her classmates and I know she is above average height for her age but is it concerning?
She has always been tall since birth, height checks have all been 98th centile or above. She is a healthy weight, slim but not skinny.

I am only 5'4" and not from a tall family, DH is 6'1" so obviously she gets it from his side, but still he's not super tall.

She is not 10 until end of December but recently has started showing signs of puberty, fine pubic hair and starting to get boobs. I think this is normal or is it a bit young? I started my periods at 11 in year 7 but I can't remember what age I started puberty.

I've not really been worried about it but saw a photo of her last week from school and she just looked so much taller and older than her classmates! Also someone remarked that she's almost as tall as me now, and she actually is!

Anyone else with very tall children?? Does this sound normal?

Periods generally start 2 years after breast growth starts, so you and your daughter will be about the same. My DD was a similar height at that age. With the start of puberty (at 10) she really took off, but levelled out at 5’10” when she was 15. Her dad is 5’11”.

ETA I’m 5’4” too.

Thank you! Yes looking back I think I was year 5 starting to get boobs. I remember getting "crop tops" instead of vests around that age

I also stopped growing quite young, around 13 so I guess she will be tall but not super tall if she stops growing at 13 too.
SIL/MIL are about 5'7" so she's probably going to be more like them than me!
