When I was growing up, we had some girls that were just big compared to other girls. They started there periods earlier and developed breast earlier.
Also, I wanted to point out that the bone test are not 100%.
My daughter is huge compared to the other kids her age and she is more academically developed as well. She is reading and she is not quite 4. She has always been off on the growth charts. We met her at 6months and she was home at 11months. The way we confirmed her age is by her fontanels. They were not closed, and she did not walk until 13months.
Like I said she is now almost 4. She is 43lbs and 45inches tall. She is wearing size 6 clothes (most peers wearing 4t) and a size 12 shoe (peers closer to a size 10) She is a head taller than the tallest in her class.
If we would have not gotten her so early, I would swear she was closer to 6.
I would let things be, as Becky said earlier. In the amount of time that it takes to fix or correct; the other girls will mostly likely have already caught up. I would also rather my child be were she is doing well academically.
just my 2cents or maybe 50cents.
