    I would suggest talking to your pediatrician about it. They can give you the science behind the information provided to you.

    One more thought on the 'too tall' thing . . .

    I do come form a tall family - at 5'10", I'm 2" shorter than anyone of my 4 sibs or my mom (my Dad is 6'5").

    My youngest sister was VERY tall very early. She was 5' tall in the first grade, which puts her at a height kids reached at the 6th grade. It was hard on her. And, in fact, the doctor asked my parents if they were concerned because they could do something about it, although it is pretty drastic.

    Turned out she was fine - she's now 6'2 or 3.

    But in first grade it was like Wendy and the 7th dwarfs in her classroom.

    As others have said, look at the family growth pattern.
