Well, I am 13 years old and 5’1. I weigh 92 pounds…how do I get taller? I’ve already gone through puberty and all of that. I’ve been drinking a cold glass of milk every night and going to bed at 9:30-10PM. I went through puberty quite early–the middle of my fifth grade year. I know this is just another stereo type, but I’m asian and they say its harder to become taller when you’re asian? Anyway, I want to grow taller without wearing wedges or high heels…naturally without taking any prescription/medicine/acids or punctures. What do you suggest for someone my age to grow taller? I’m planning on playing more sports during the summer. I’ve never gone out of the house that much–my mom never has the time to take me and my dad isn’t well..in contact anymore. So I have NEVER been to any amusement parks–including Disneyland nor have I played many sports outside of my P.E. class. I’m signing up for badminton and it starts next week, but its only for 20 days. My mom is planning on signing me up on volleyball during the summer, but like I said only for a few weeks. I don’t really exercise…once I eat my belly is pretty full but when I sleep all that belly fat goes away in the morning (mostly). P.E. classes at school help too, since we run twice a week around a really big track. I want to get taller then my mom, who is 5’3 and 42. I want to be at least 5’5-5’7 by the time I get out of highschool. I want to be at least 5’2 or 5’3 in two years. Thanks ![]()
I read in a Walt Disney World guidebook that you can buy lifts for kids shoes so they can grow one inch to meet the height requirement for rides. Does this work? Where do you buy shoe lifts?
In the guidebook it said adding a 1/2 inch won’t make that much difference. Disney over compensates for safety. What if you have a short child who can never ride the rides until they are in junior high??
Also…how is this different than when people have their kids where heeleys or high heeled shoes?
Ok Thanks for you opinions. How about for the slide at Sea World?
My main reason is because my son is right at the height requirement. At the doctors he is an inch past. Each time we go he get’s re-measured. He rode one ride and then a month later when he wasn’t standing up straight they almost didn’t let him on. Then after I told them he had already been on several times in the last month they let him on. I have never seen them have anyone take their shoes off. I know they don’t count hair though. I know someone who wore her mom’s shoes with heals to get on and they allowed her on.
At Disneyland they allow heelies. They told kids to make sure they are kept inside for the Star Wars show.
I think I am on my 5th guidebook…so I can’t remember which one. I have read the Unofficial Guide, Walt Disney World with Kids, Birnbaums, and a few others.
