They'll be fine. They'll be happy they look young when they get older and they'll also pick up the weight. Unless they look abnormally skinny, you shouldn't be worried about it.

I wouldn't worry about it. All kids grow and age differently. My son on the other hand is tall for his age. He's only 15 months old and taller than my 26 month old niece. Getting into places where under two is free is a pain cause no one wants to believe he's not even a year and a half yet lol.

There are HGH injections, but those are primarily for children with diagnosed growth/hormone disorders, I doubt any credible medical professional will simply just shoot them up simply because you are uncomfortable with their appearance.
They will probably be fine, they've not even entered puberty, and they'll probably start to even out once they do. Besides, in an age where we're all obsessed with youth, this may be more of a blessing than a curse.

You should ask your doctor. My daughters had their growth spurt (growing 3 to 4" in one yr) when they where between 10 and 12. Give it a little time. Looking younger can be a benefit when they get in their 40's or older.

Your kids profile is perfectly normal and they don't need any medication, i think you are probably over paranoid and it takes more confidence in yourself to realize that you are blessed and can produce healthy children. Life is never perfect but its what you make of it so look at the positive aspects and be very thankful for what you have.
Are you or someone in your family look younger than they really are? This could be a reason.

Well if they are athletic that could be a factor. And some kids are just small but they will grow. They are kinda young so when there like 13 they will probably hit a growth spurt!

Some kids are just smaller for their age but they will catch up eventually. I remember kids who looked younger than they were when I was a kid. I also have a cousin who always looked young for her age when she was a kid. But they Will catch up. Don't worry! If you worry about this your daughters may start to feel self-conscious about this. Let them know that they are fine just the way they are. Who cares what others think? I doesn't matter- it's their problem!

With children you never know when they are going to hit a growth spurt...so i would advise against any kind of growth hormone...and whats so wrong with little girls being little and petite? seriously who knows what kind of long term damage some of these things have just be happy with them whatever size they grow up to be....lets be happy with the way God made them.
