The approximate height of a girl aged 32 months is 31 inches and approximate weight is 30.8 pounds. This is obviously a very general measurement; within reason, any height is perfectly normal at that age. Hopefully, if a child hasn't been growing properly it should have been picked up by this age as they will have been seen by numerous health care professionals during this period.
Children grow at very different paces at that age, and so don't worry if your daughter is a little smaller than other children at playgroup. At this age, a year makes a huge difference in terms of height although children still tend to be grouped by age. Therefore, if she is one of the younger or older in their group, it should be expected that she would be quite different in height and weight to many of the others.
Ensure your child eats plenty of food as they are growing a lot and need plenty of nourishment. To minimise the risk of obesity, make sure food is freshly prepared and doesn't contain high levels of salt or fat. Give children sweets as a treat and keep fizzy drinks to a minimum. Try and encourage healthy snacks, this will allow your child to get much needed nourishment during the day between meals. Examples could be fresh fruit, dried fruit, cereal, yogurt, seeds, vegetables (carrot sticks) etc.
If you are confident your child is eating healthily and getting plenty of exercise, you can be confident that you are doing all you can to help them grow into a strong and healthy child. If you are worried about the height or weight of your child, have a word with your GP, they will be able to put your mind at rest.
