Are you the three types of parents?
Parents all hope that their children will be "high" and have a higher level of people, but they have learned a lot in this important stage of their children's growth and development. Parents should not simply pay attention to it, but should study in depth, so that their children can be "high" and have a higher level of people.
If you are the following three types of parents, you may "drag" your child's height!
Waiting for rabbit type
Parent's thoughts: Height development is early and late, it doesn't matter if you are short when you are young, and you will be able to catch up with him when you are adolescent.
Reason: In the process of children's growth and development, the growth and development of epiphyseals play a decisive role in height. Generally, when the puberty ends, the epiphysis will be completely ossified and the bones will no longer have room for growth.
Many short children come to check bone age , and their age is too old and their bones are close to adult bones. They missed the best treatment opportunity. Even if they barely treat or use some medicines, the effect is poor. Parents should not take it slowly with the mentality of "waiting and watching". The best treatment age should be between four and five years and ten years old.
Recommendation: early detection and early treatment.
thick one thin another type
Parent thoughts: Children need to grow up, the most important thing is to work hard on their diet, and add some exercise.
Reason: The height growth rate of the human body is affected by many factors. In addition to the past, nutritional status, physical exercise is also closely related to sleep quality, sunshine time, etc.
Sleep quality is also a crucial part. If a child who lacks sleep for a long time, even if he performs reasonable exercise, it will be invalid due to fatigue and other reasons, which is also called invalid exercise.
The good biological clock is destroyed, and the endocrine hormone secretion mode and effect are not on the normal track, which will affect the growth and development of the child.
Suggestion: requires both nutrition and exercise, as well as sleep and sunshine.
One and Forever
Parent thoughts: Take the child to check his height, the first test result indicators are normal, and there is no need to follow up again in the future.
Reason: Whether a child's height is constantly improving, increasing, or growing, or lagging, all require vertical observation to make scientific judgments and treatments. If growth continues to lag and there are growth defects every year, it is necessary to diagnose and treat it as soon as possible. If the child does not come to the doctor after the first examination is normal, the bone age may be significantly ahead or significantly lagging after a few years, which will affect the child's growth and development.
Suggestions : Regular follow-up visits, vertical observation
Refusal to become a "stumbling block" on the road to growing taller in children
Survey found that 9 out of 10 parents do not know the accurate height of their children, nor do they know how much the height of their children has changed every year. Parents are busy with work, but are negligent in managing their children's height. For growing and developing children, height management is a very important thing.
Generally speaking, the average growth of the child in the first year after birth is 25~26cm; the average growth of the second year is 10~13cm; the average growth of the third year (i.e. 2~3 years old) is 8~10cm; from the age of 4 to the time of the child’s adolescence, it will grow by 5~7cm every year.
2. The most appropriate time to help children manage height
Parents who want to help their children grow taller should start paying attention to the main factors influencing height in each stage of their child’s growth since the child was born, and regularly monitor height and assess the risk of growing height for their children.
When the child grows faster (such as infancy and adolescence aged 0 to 3 years old), parents will manage their children's height more, so their children's height will be more ideal.
htmlRegularly record growth and development data from the age of 30 to 3 years old. It is recommended to measure height once a month after the age of 3. It is recommended to take bone age every 3 months or half a year from 6 years old to puberty. Height and weight are recorded every month. If abnormalities are found, seek medical treatment in time.
For children who have reached their expectations, they still need to check their bone age regularly. The bone age and height should be the main focus, and pay attention to the follow-up of children's nutrition.
written at the end
Height management is to formulate a management plan based on the expected height before the child's height development period ends, and finally achieve the expected height. Compared with Europe and the United States, my country has lagged much behind in children's height management.
In our country, many parents do not pay enough attention to their children's height, or feel that their children are just growing up late and have missed the best growth period in vain. Therefore, parents need to adjust their mindset, set reasonable expected heights, and conduct a global observation of their children's growth and development.
