Hi @tern Welcome to the TAC community!
I wouldn’t say your hands are too small. There are children that can play very difficult and intricate chords, and they have very small hands. I think the question that should be asked is whether the neck of your guitar may be too large. Necks come in different lengths, dimensions and shapes. You may want to consider a smaller parlor size guitar that would be more ideal for smaller hands.
I do want to say that I don’t have the largest hands either, and some of the practice lessons utilize chords that my hands just won’t stretch too. Although, the stretch is getting better through continued playing and practicing. A trick is to use a capo and place it on the 5th or 7th fret and practice with the smaller frets that are found up the neck. It is much easier to practice different chords, as well as doing scales and such. As you are able to play at the higher frets, start moving your capo back on the neck and playing at the 5, then the 3, and then open with no capo. Your fingers will become more flexible as you play.
