Hi
Thanks for your query.
Height of child depends on.;
genetic factor(height of parents and grand parents.)
dietary factors
environmental factors.
I suggest you to give her nutritious diet rich in proteins,minerals and vitamins.
Avoid all kind of fried and junk food.
Encourage her do physical activities like cycling,skippins,stretching exercises.
Wishing your child good health.
God bless.
