My friend's daughter is 8 years old this year. She has grown soared for a while before, but now she suddenly doesn't grow up, shorter than a child of the same age.
friends are more worried, they are afraid that their children will have premature puberty, which will affect their height development and mental health.
took the child to the hospital for examination, and the result was that found that the bone age was ahead of .
So she now stares at her daughter every day, not letting her children eat chicken, and not letting her children eat off-season vegetables;
also requires her children to jump rope and run...
Her mother-in-law doesn't understand, she feels sorry for her granddaughter not to eat meat, and the two often quarrels, and it seems that she is the only one in the family who is worried about the problem of precocious puberty of the child.
In fact, this problem is quite serious.
Nowadays, many families have undergone many changes in their dietary habits and their lifestyles have also undergone many changes. The obesity rate of children has increased, and changes in the social environment have led to complex external information that children are exposed to, and children are more likely to be precocious.
Especially for girls, many girls have menstruation when they are less than ten years old. A doctor friend I know has also talked about this issue and I would like to remind parents to pay attention.
If the child develops early breasts before the age of 8, his body hair begins to appear, his vulva pigment deepens, his labia minora becomes thicker, his menstrual period arrives before the age of 10, his vaginal secretions increase, and his height and weight increase too quickly, you need to pay attention. These are all manifestations of precocious puberty in children.
Premature puberty will cause Children's bone dirt to close early and not grow taller, which will also affect the child's endocrine, lead to hormone levels imbalance, and also affect the child's mental health. Parents must pay attention to prevention.
And you must have this awareness earlier. You need to pay attention from the time your child is young, rather than starting to prevent it until the child is seven or eight years old. It may be too late to pay attention to it at this time.
Then how to avoid premature puberty from girls?
All aspects of life need to be paid attention to.
. Avoid obesity
Obesity caused by overnutrition is one of the causes of premature puberty.
If the child grows horizontally during height development, then you need to pay attention to it. Never let the child get obesity-related problems. Not to talk about premature puberty. Obesity will increase the probability of various diseases in the future, which will have an impact on the child's future physical health.
Do not let your children eat too much, such as rice, noodles and other staple foods, as well as high-calorie foods. Do not develop the eating habit of always letting your children eat too much. The excess calories accumulate, which will lead to obesity in the child.
Also, do not eat off-season vegetables and fruits, as well as some animals and plants with short growth periods. Although there is no clear data to prove that it will lead to precocious puberty in children, it is potentially related.
For example, chicken, in the modern breeding process, the growth cycle of chickens is shortened, and many chickens have never been out of the cage in their lives. My friend is particularly resistant to chicken because her daughter likes to eat KFC very much. Her family often takes the children out, so she always feels that this has something to do with the child's bone age.
. Eat less hormone-containing foods.
Many animals and plants contain more estrogen. For example, colostrum and milk, some parents believe that milk contains high calcium content, and drinking more can help children grow taller, so they let their children drink milk as water; there is also soy milk, soy milk contains phytoestrogen, and it is not recommended that children drink too much. Although phytoestrogen is different from human estrogen, it has similarities and is afraid of being stimulated.
Of course, it does not mean that milk and soy milk cannot be drunk. Children of different ages can consume dairy and soy products daily as recommended in the dietary nutrition guide of residents. It must be moderate and not overdose.
includes some supplements, such as bird's nest, shark fin, royal jelly , Cordyceps sinensis , etc. Children do not need to eat it, blindly taking it tonic is harmful or useless.
. Avoid contact with toys with plasticizer exceeding the standard What is the relationship between
plasticizer and premature maturity?
is related. The plasticizer in plastic toys is similar to the sex hormones in the human body. It can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and even the skin, thereby affecting children.
For example, disposable lunch boxes, plush toys, and unqualified Barbie dolls, many of the detected plasticizers exceed the standard. We must keep children away from inferior plastic toys, take their children to play more outdoor games and outdoor sports, and get in touch with nature more, and enhance their resistance.
. Don’t turn on the lights at night when sleeping
Light will affect the hormone levels in the human body and is also a reason for children to have premature puberty. When babies wake up frequently at night, many mothers like to buy a night light, which will be on at night. In fact, there is no need to turn on the night light for convenience. Let the children get used to the difference between day and night. It is more important to have a better sleep, otherwise the children may develop the habit of having to turn on the lights at night.
After sleeping with the child in separate rooms, some children will not let the lights turn off because they are afraid. Parents can spend a while with their children, turn off the lights and leave after they fall asleep, or come in and turn off the lights after they fall asleep.
. Avoid children from getting in touch with some love things
I found that many primary school students and even kindergarten children like to watch some movies and TV dramas, fairy tales, martial arts dramas, and these adult film and television works are indispensable in love elements. There are also areas such as comics, games, novels, etc. that children like, which are also full of love. Let children get in touch with these too early will have a certain impact on physical and mental development.
Finally, as long as we let children pay attention to balanced nutrition in their diet, develop good sleeping habits, and exercise more, we can cultivate good living habits. If the child has precocious puberty, be sure to take the child to see a doctor to determine whether intervention is needed.
