Some parents came and said, "Does our family grow old?" Can you still get a chance in the later stage?

Not all short children grow up late! I usually say you don’t want to bet on this child growing up late. If you talk about it in the end, you really regret it if you don’t grow up.

So how can we judge whether this child is short or late?

First of all, night growth generally meets the following conditions:

The first is that he is short in height, but bone age is generally small, one to two years younger.

Second is that the growth rate of children is normal. Generally speaking, the speed we talk about is 5 to 7 cm a year before 4 years old to puberty. For example, it is normal for him to maintain a length of 5 or 6 cm a year, and his parents have a long history.

The third is that children's gonad development is a sign of lagging behind compared to children of the same age.

If this child meets these characteristics, he may be older. But we also need to regularly monitor his height, his bone age changes, and his sexual development status.

Then which children are not growing up late?

First of all, the height is lower than the average height of children of the same gender, age, or race, or the average height is lower than the 3rd percentile. In this category of short , the growth rate is obviously very slow: infants and young children under 02 years old are less than 7 cm a year;

4 years old to puberty, less than 5 cm a year;

and after puberty, it is less than 6 cm a year, and the growth rate is very slow.

Then let’s look at its bone age. It may be small or normal. If the bone age is greater than the actual age, there may be basically no night growth.

So, When we find that this child grows slowly, if the bone age is the same as the actual age, or even the bone age is older than the actual age, don’t expect that the child will grow up later, he will grow slowly.

So, no matter whether the child is likely to grow up late, we should not hold it. If the child is likely to grow up late, we will not intervene in the current height of the child and intervene in time and as soon as possible to avoid missing the best opportunity for the child to grow taller.

is because we have seen too many of them. This mother cried bitterly after coming, especially when the little boy was less than 165. She couldn't solve the helplessness of her mother.

So, is this child short or growing up late? I think parents should not judge on their own. They should let the doctor give a comprehensive assessment based on the child's height, bone age, and growth and development.
