Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Usually height of any individual depends on heights of parents as it controlled more by genetic factors.
Another thing is growth of kid goes on till age of 16-17 in girls and 20-21 yrs in boys. So even if she has got her menarche at age of 10, she can still grow in height till the age of 16 to 17 yrs. And generally it is seen that girls attain height of their mothers.
No need of finding any solution, just regular physical activity and sports and proper nutrition will take care of her growth.
I hope I answered your question well.
Thank you
