How tall is the child to meet the standard?
A few days ago, the National Health Commission issued the "7 years old~18" In the evaluation of height development level of children and adolescents in aged 1998, the height development of children is divided into 5 levels:
lower level: height <-2SD
medium and lower level: height ≥-2SD and <-1SD
medium and upper level: height ≥-1SD and ≤+1SD
medium and upper level: Height >+1SD and ≤+2SD
top: Height >+2SD Note: SD is the standard deviation
With reference, parents with "medium or above children" are far from satisfied with this, and parents with "medium or below children" have begun to fall into deep anxiety.
Parents are asking around for folk remedies and medicines, and no one wants their children to lose.
Experts remind parents to not to be blindly optimistic or blindly pessimistic. Objectively understand the child’s physical development status and don’t let the following misunderstandings delay the child’s growth!

Clothing
For the health of your child, you should also pay attention to these details in your daily life. For example, try to wear loose clothes, try to squat as little as possible, and don’t blindly believe in health supplements for heightening. These can help your child grow taller health.
written at the end
With the improvement of living standards, it is also expected that children's height growth will increase; on the one hand, it is inseparable from our public's enthusiasm for sports, and on the other hand, the gradual improvement of the nutritional level of children in our country is also an important factor.

Instead, by objectively understanding the child's physical development status, and through sufficient sleep, exercise, and reasonable dietary arrangements, scientifically treat their children's growth and development~
