Late long, more verb, late, wait for the child to grow up?

For children's education, we often say that we should give children enough patience and companionship, give children enough time and space, so that children can develop in an all-round way.

But remind parents that sometimes, waiting late and late may cause us to miss the best time for treatment. If your child has the following situations, do not blindly wait, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible so as not to leave regrets.

Short stature

Children are short in height, do not blindly wait, when the child appears to grow less than 5 cm tall every year, sit in the first row of the classroom for a long time, be half a head shorter than children of the same age or even children of the same age, and do not buy large clothes for a long time, you cannot hope that the child may be "late long", "grow in the back", and be vigilant against short stature.

Short stature is a type of growth and development disorder caused by genetic or disease factors, which refers to a child's height in a similar living environment, which is less than 2 standard deviations or third percentiles of the average height of normal children of the same age and same sex, or the annual height increase is less than 4-5 cm.

Short stature is a common pediatric disease in the clinic, the incidence is about 3%, the cause is complex, many diseases such as growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, small-for-gestational age, hypoplasia of cartilage can lead to short stature.

When parents find that their children have the above conditions, they should take their children to the doctor as soon as possible to achieve "early detection, early diagnosis, and early intervention".

Studies have shown that the younger the child, the more active the cartilage layer hyperplasia and differentiation of the epiphysis, the greater the space and potential for the child's growth, the more sensitive the response to intervention treatment, the better the growth effect, 3-12 years old is the golden time for short stature intervention treatment.

ADHD

When a child develops hyperactivity and inattention that is not commensurate with age, it can be the cause of the disease.

ADHD, short for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents, with an incidence of about 5% to 10%. It is mainly manifested by the distraction of attention that is not commensurate with age, excessive activity and emotional impulses regardless of the occasion.

If a child suffers from ADHD, he will have the following different degrees of performance:

Academics: inattention, inability to concentrate on listening to lectures, procrastination without a plan, easy to lead to poor academic performance, affecting employment and career development in adulthood.

Social aspects: act impulsively, easy to clash with peers, can not abide by discipline, rules, unpopular, difficult to make friends, easy to lose self-confidence, feel inferior.

Psychological aspect: due to hyperactivity, emotional instability, easy to conflict with other people, violent tendencies, and even antisocial tendencies and crime problems; long-term inferiority, some people may be anxious, depressed, and even suicidal tendencies.

In addition, it is also prone to accidental injuries, combined with tic disorders, conduct disorders, learning disabilities, etc.

When the child appears in the above performance, parents must not think that the child is just "young, ignorant, and will grow up." Studies have shown that 70% of children's symptoms can be maintained into adolescence, and 30% to 50% will persist into adulthood. Although the symptoms of hyperactivity may lessen with age and seem to be better, there will still be impulsiveness, carelessness, lack of planning, poor interpersonal relationships, etc., which will lead to career failure, marital problems, social relationship problems, etc.

Language development delay

When children can't speak, speak clearly, have difficulty communicating, etc., don't think that children are "late in your speech", and you should be wary of children's language development delays. Language development delay refers to the fact that children's oral expression ability or language comprehension ability caused by various reasons lags significantly behind the normal developmental level of children of the same age, and is one of the common developmental disorders in children.

Normal babies can say meaningful words around the age of 1, and after the age of 1.5, the language develops rapidly, entering the "outbreak period" of language development, and can use various types of short sentences after the age of 3. Babies with language delays are mainly manifested as starting to speak at a significantly later age than normal children. If your baby can't say meaningful words after age 1 and a half and meaningful phrases after age 2, you should pay attention to whether there is language delay. In addition, inaccurate pronunciation and unclear pronunciation are also important manifestations of children with language delay.

Language delay may be the manifestation of many diseases such as mental retardation, autism, hearing impairment, ADHD, learning difficulties, etc., which not only affect children's language comprehension and expression, but also affect children's future reading and writing, and even affect their cognitive ability and social adaptability, resulting in abnormal behavior and emotions. Before the age of 3 is the "golden age" of brain development, during which it is very important to receive proper rehabilitation training.
