Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community for help with your concern about your daughter's height.

Does she visit the pediatrician's office for routine annual exams? Have you expressed your concern to the pediatrician?

How tall are you and your daughter's father? Height is influenced by heredity and diet.
There is nothing you can do to stop her from growing.

Your daughter may have started her growth spurt earlier and may stop growing, on her own, sooner than other children her age. Speak with the pediatrician, who knows if this is normal or not.

Regards,
Maryann
