Signs that a girl may not grow taller include progressive breast development, the onset of menstruation, and weight gain. It is recommended to promptly take the child for an X-ray examination to assess the growth plates. If the examination shows that the growth plates are fully closed, it indicates that growth has stopped; if the growth plates are not yet completely closed, it means the child can still continue to grow taller.
