I'm not sure how tall you are, but I hope you can accept your height and be happy with who you are.  I have a friend who is completely grown, she is only 4'11" tall.  She has always been one of the most confident people I know.  She would sometimes get teased but tended to ignore it and most of it was done to playful, not mean.  I don't think working out will affect whether you grow or not, but it's good for you in general so don't stop.  Some people grow right up to the age of 20, but most stop by 18.  A lot of female celebrities are quite short, like Toni Braxton, Madonna, Shakira, lots more.  And remember what Horton the elephant (Dr. Suess) says, "People are people, no matter how small."

i hate to break it to you but girls stop growing @ 18 and then we only have the ability to shrink as we get older.. so if your lookin to grow go out and buy yourself those nice heeled boots or some platform flip flops.. dont be ashamed i am 6'2  (girl) and i wish i was short. i have to look down on everyone and i hate how everyone has to reach to me.

How old is the baby? Check with Doc. The best way is to let them grow naturally and slowly. Babies are very delicate, you need to be extra careful with them. They always want to get up, but it might be dangerous for them.\n\nKeep a cushion alongside and underneath their head/neck.

First we are geneticically predisposed to be a certain height and only when we deprive our bodies of needed nutrition do we change that by maybe stunting our growth. So, you may take back after any relative, mostly it will go back to the grandparents. So, no amount of food will make you grow taller. You do need to eat healthy and get the nutrition you need to grow to your maximum height. So, be patient. Yes, people can have a spurt at age 16. Girls are growing until 18-2,  sometimes. Boys usually grow fastest at an earlier age than girls do. But, 11 in. is a lot. So, hang in there and be happy with what and who you are. You are beautiful just the way you are. God designed you to be who you are, an individual, with no one else who is like you. Isn't that amazing? Love coming your way. Prayers that you will grow and will love yourself no matter what.

most females quit growing by the time they are 20. although i think my daughter quit 2 years ago. you could donate some of your height to her- she's 4ft 11 and is 18 yrs old. most people think she's 12 or 13.

I do think you are tall.I'm not sure if you will keep growing but I do know one of my male cousins stayed at 5'8" until he was 18-20 when he grew a few more inches to 6'.

basically, wait training is unhealthy for children under the age of 11.\n\nDue to constantly changing bodies, the added stress of weights may do more harm than good. However, with that said,\nI would concentrate on light weights, high reps, and perfect her form.  It is now that you can manage her desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You should also instill in her the notion that being to fit may also be a hazard ie: Katie Moss, etc.\n\nDO NOT ALTER HER DIET. Maintain a healty diet consisting of 15% Fat, 25% protein and 65% carbs. DO NOT ADD SUPPLEMENTS other than a vitamin. (children SHOULD) recieve all of their nutrition from food, and not pills.

I don't think so. She's still young and probably doesn't have very big curves or anything yet. She's still growing. \n I'm 19, and I weigh about 100 pounds.I'm only 5'0", and healthy. \n\nI wouldn't worry about it, but it's good that you were concerned anyways. :)

It takes time, but it can be done. Have her stay up a little longer each day like 15 - 30 minutes. Then get up a little earlier the next day, the same amount of time.

Make sure you're feeding him a healthy diet for one.  That's all you can do. Also remember to have doctor check ups.  It's not a horrible thing if your child is underweight.  I've been underweight my entire life and I'm healthy.  Talk to your doctor if your very concerned to make sure it's nothing however.  Keep them active and off the couch and they should grow up to normal.

Try not to place too much importance on what your doctor advised you.  Your doctor should have already told you what tests would be carried out.  Your intuition tells you that your daughter is petite, so what she looks 9yrs old.  My daughter is 18yrs and she looks like she is 15, and behaves like it.  I have always told her not too grow up too quickly.  Stay away from any growth hormones and especially soy and any product that contains soy, lecithin, and emulsifiers.  Look up www.doctorsaredangerous.com and make your own imformed choice.  If you need to get a second, thrid opinion,get them, however I believe you are on the right track.  We can't all be giants!

Growing kids are like bottomless pits, especially during growth spurts or if they're into energetic activities.  Assuming that they are not overweight or underweight, but just active children, I'd try things with lots of fiber and bulk... like light popcorn, bananas, apples, pears, whole grain crackers (even graham crackers), lowfat cheese (like string cheese or 2% cheese cubes), lowfat yogurt (GoGurt tubes frozen and eaten like a push-up pop is great!)\n\nLimit anything with a lot of sugar vs bulk (like grapes or oranges or juices - even natural sugars will make them feel hungry again in a short while) and have them drinking lots of water with snacks because sometimes thirst feels like hunger, especially to children.  Could be they're really just thirsty!\n\nCelery with peanut butter is another good choice... it's filling... or baby carrots with lowfat ranch dressing to dip them into.  My mom used to give me a baggie of celery and carrot sticks and send me outside to play - lol  Just remember that the longer it takes to digest something, the longer it will "stick with them"   :)\n\n(Obviously I attacked the snack time issue - lol  I'm assuming they're eating three healthy normal meals each day from what you said...)    :)

it depends.  i kept slowly growing until i was 18.  some girls are done growing at 12.  if her height has stayed consistent for the last few months and she has hit puberty, she is probably done.  if she was still growing the last few times she was measured (even if she has hit puberty) then there is still hope for her.  also though it is based on genetics, and more than just parents--you have to look at grandparents and aunts/uncles, etc.
