She is now 4’7 and perfectly healthy Bh but really short.
She’s been quite upset about it at times and it really hurts my heart but I work on accepting it because this is from Hashem.
We constantly point out other tiny women when we see them living normal healthy lives, but it still hurts me. Clothing is not easy and neither are shoes as she wears a size 2.5 children’s shoes.
Almost impossible to even find her heels to help her look taller.

Check your daughter out now.

My girls are also tiny and wear size 2 shoes. We recently found cute heels at Cinderella of Boston. I don’t think that they have an amazing return policy, but I’m too happy to have found appropriate shoes for my daughter to care.
But yes, clothing is an issue and shoes are difficult to find, but this is how Hashem made them/us and there is nothing I can do about it. (Yes, I did see an endocrinologist many years ago. But short parents make short kids.)
