I'm 5'3, DH is 5'6. DD is not on meds (yet?) and is shorter than many
of the
3rd and 4th graders even though she's in 5th grade. I even know one 7 y/o
who is taller than she is. We also know a set of twins where the one
who eats
better is several inches taller than her counterpart. Its really hard
to tell what
is from meds and what is genetic.
