Will continue growin: at a slower pace though, having menses starting at age 10 is bit early, although there are reports of girls starting at age 9. Kindly see her pediatrician and preferably a pediatric endocrinologist, if you have access to one, for a follow up on growth velocity, might need some blood work, hormonal assessment and imaging studies for bone age and the like, all the best for yourself and your daughter
