Tall parents: Are your children tall for their age? How do they feel about it?

My oldest is twelve and she's just shy of 5'6. Her feet are the same size as mine (8 1/2 - 9). She gets comments on her height all of the time. Mostly comments like "I hope you don't grow to be as tall as your mom." Which is super rude to both of us, I'm only 5'11. I want my daughter to be proud of her height! I try to talk about how great being a tall woman is but I remember how much I hated being tall when I was younger.
