As a southerner, Xiaolan, a short man, always felt that his height was normal in the place where he lived, but after he arrived in the north, there was an instant gap. Facing his son, Xiaolan felt very anxious. Will his child be short too? When will the child suddenly stop growing?
1. The importance of tall
Everyone now expects tall selves. It cannot be said that everyone has a standard height, but it has to be admitted that shortness does limit the development of many individuals. Many jobs, and even some schools, will have height requirements when they are admitted. The most obvious thing is that the flight attendant has few empty spaces. When he is not tall, he cannot even hold his suitcase. The more decent the job he is, the stricter the requirements for height.
. For the child himself, other students become taller every year, and they will always be like children. This will easily cause children to have inferiority complex and will also have certain restrictions on choosing a spouse in the future. Therefore, facing pressure from all parties, parents are anxious about their children's height, and they also hope to help their children work hard and have a standard height.
2. Several major factors affecting height
Of course, the way to encourage growth is not advisable. If you want to help children "grow taller", you must first understand which factors will play a decisive role in the growth process.
1, bone age
This factor is an effective way to affect height detection proposed in recent years. Bones also have age, and the most important thing is that the age of bones must match the actual age. When going to the hospital for testing, you can see through analysis that if the child's bone age is currently consistent with the actual age or is relatively young, the doctor will report normal bone development, so there is no need to worry.
However, if the child is only 10 years old, but his bone age is already 12 years old, then the alarm will be made. This means that the child's sudden growth has actually exceeded the standard of bone age. When the child really needs to grow taller, the bone may have exceeded the age and can no longer be improved. If the bones close, the height will be fixed.
This is why, some girls are rushing in elementary school, but almost motionless when they reach junior high school, but their bone age has developed early.
How to avoid early development of bone age?
(1) First of all, parents should be conscious. If the child suddenly grows taller and becomes very obvious during a period of time, they can undergo bone age testing. If it is found that the bone age is likely to exceed the standard at this time, they can control and coordinate through diet or drugs to help the bone age return to normal with the actual age. However, this effective control rate has not been analyzed very scientifically at present, but there is indeed such a conditioning method.
(2) Secondly, pay attention to your diet. At this stage, parents must avoid letting their children eat hormone-containing things and try not to stimulate bone development.
2. Adolescent traits
Compared with girls, this adolescence characteristic will be more obvious. When girls have lumps in their breasts, they are pubertal characteristics. Many girls’ mothers are more nervous at this time, just because they are worried that the girl will not grow taller. The characteristics of adolescence do appear prematurely, which in a certain sense indicates that the child's height development may be stopped.
(1) Due to the improvement of living standards, many children will experience symptoms of early entry into puberty. Nowadays, many girls have this phenomenon at the age of eight or nine. If these characteristics appear, they may soon enter menstruation, and the child will officially enter the puberty period, and his height may grow slowly or simply stop.
In response to this phenomenon, parents should pay attention to their children's diet, especially girls, and pay attention to controlling their nutritional intake. If the child has puberty characteristics, they can go to the hospital to consult with relevant departments such as the "Children's Behavior Development Clinic". These can give parents more scientific guidance to help their children grow taller.
(2) Be sure to exercise more. As the child is about to enter the puberty period, parents should pay attention to letting their children exercise more, especially related events that help whole-body exercise, such as swimming, badminton, etc. Many children who have puberty traits early have obese constitutions, which are all harmful to overnutrition. Therefore, parents must let their children exercise appropriately to maintain normal weight development. Exercise throughout the body also helps stretch ligaments. Even after development, external forces can help grow taller.
3. Comprehensive development is the key
Height is just an external manifestation of us and cannot determine everything. As parents, I definitely hope that my children are excellent from the inside out. However, if I am not tall, under the influence of genetic genes, the child's height may not have much breakthrough, but the development of the child's comprehensive quality is the most critical. Even if you don’t have a perfect figure that makes people amazing, it is very important for your child to be healthy, keen and cheerful. Therefore, I also hope that parents will not be too concerned about height issues. Just work hard, and children’s happiness is the most important thing.
