5', I hope, not 5 ": Potential for further growth depends on her stage of puberty. You can ask her pediatrician to obtain an X-ray of her wrist & hand to determine her bone age, indicating how much more time she has to attain her adult height. All she can do is have a healthy diet, adequate consolidated sleep, 1 hour of exercise/day & limit " screen time to 2 hours/ day to avoid obesity, if she's destined to be short

Should grow: Most women finish growing taller at 16-17 or about 3 inches after their first menses.Projected height based on parental height would suggest 5'2 as her final height. (+/-) Good nutrition,rest and exercise support growth, lack of it slows it.
