【What are the dangers of precocious puberty?】 】
Affects height
Precocious children are generally significantly taller than their peers, but after a certain age, they will be significantly shorter than their peers, due to the stimulation of sex hormones, the height of children will grow rapidly, but at the same time will lead to premature closure of the child's bone scale line without room for growth.
Psychological problems
Children develop prematurely will produce inferiority psychology, because in the same age group is different, children will always worry about being afraid, and even afraid of becoming a monster in the eyes of classmates, precocious children are different from ordinary people in terms of characteristics, once these differences are easy to inferiority, parents and friends may be complacent, but the future development is very unfavorable.
Easy to fall in love early
Early love is severely cracked down on in the eyes of Chinese parents. Early love means that academic performance declines, children have problems in their thinking, every parent does not want their children to have early love, and the child's precocious puberty is caused by a mismatch between psychological and physical development, and will be curious about the opposite sex, which is also a problem that many parents worry about.

Into puberty, hormonal changes are more likely to lead to obesity, if the child is not always overweight, suddenly the weight base increases rapidly, into puberty, the child always wants to eat, in fact, if the child's height development is very fast, it should indeed supplement calcium substances, but if the child is only lateral development, more and more fat, it should be paid attention to.
[Children eat meat and drink soy milk, will they have precocious puberty?] 】
Does meat cause precocious ripening?
Animal food including animals, meat are natural animals, hormone animals and humans need a variety of hormones, in order to maintain normal vital signs, this is a normal phenomenon, normal natural hormones will not lead to premature development of people, so normal eating chicken or pork and other meat food, will not affect the normal growth and development of children, but if the intake of more brine meat, naturally will affect the child's spleen and stomach health and height development.
Will soy milk trigger precocious puberty?

Many people think that this substance will cause children to have precocious puberty, soy isoflavones and estrogen are only similar in molecular structure, but the human body will not absorb it as estrogen, parents and friends do not have to worry too much, children drink a cup of soy milk every day is a certain benefit, and will not affect the problem of children's precocious puberty, we should treat it scientifically, rather than blindly believe rumors.
What is the biggest factor affecting a child's precocious puberty?
1. Excess nutrition
Most of the children are now overnourished. Some children are obviously not hungry, but parents always think that the child has not eaten enough, and constantly feeding food to the child will often lead to excess nutrition, resulting in hormone secretion disorders, obesity and other issues.
The energy that children can bear is limited, do not think that children will be hungry without eating, people have natural survival laws, hunger will naturally replenish energy, if blindly supplement a large number of nutrients for children, it will only lead to poorer and worse physical fitness.
2. Often eat fried foods
Fried food is a favorite food of adults and children, fried chicken fried meat, potato chips, etc., as long as the child loves to eat, parents will frantically buy home, hoping that the child can grow up healthily, but these fried foods will only harm the child.
Fried foods are delicious, the fat content is very high, children often eat fried foods, which will lead to rapid weight gain and affected hormone secretion in the body.
Greasy diet will affect the spleen and stomach digestion, resulting in indigestion, affecting the normal growth and development of children, it is recommended that parents and friends must be scientific with diet for children, meat and vegetarian collocation, nutritional balance, in order to better strengthen the body, prevent children from precocious puberty.
3. Early exposure to adult films, television/books
In adult-themed films, television and literature, some plots will stimulate children's brains and there will be areas about sexual impulses, and early development can easily lead to abnormal children's behavior.
Even if it does not directly cause precocious puberty, premature exposure to works of this kind of subject is very detrimental to children's mental health, and parents and friends must pay attention to it.
Buy books for children must be in line with the age group, so that children get more knowledge, even if children need to know the knowledge of sex, parents and friends should also give the right guidance, rather than making children curious every day.
4. Excessive replenishment
Your child is in the stage of growth and development and does not need to over-feed food. Some parents may have better conditions, always prepare bird's nest, cordyceps, ginseng and other precious medicinal materials for their children, and even supplement various health care products that promote height development.
Every parent has the wish of "hoping that the child will become a dragon and the daughter will become a phoenix". However, sometimes excessive nourishment will increase the damage to the child's spleen and stomach and more likely to cause physical lesions.
The health care products on the market can be basically divided into two types: one is a placebo that has no meaning, and the other is a hormonal product that is promoted by seedlings. Although it does not harm the body, it is easy to cause precocious puberty in children.
5. Plasticizers and hormone-containing drugs in plastic toys
Plastic toys contain the plasticizer phthalate, which is like a sex hormone in the human body and can enter the human body along with channels such as the respiratory tract, digestive tract and skin.
Counterfeit toys may also contain excessive plasticizers, which seriously affect the sexual reproductive organs of boys and the sexual development of girls. If a child accidentally consumes drugs containing hormones, it can also lead to sexual maturity.
Parents and friends must go to a regular place to buy toys for their children, and if the child is sick and needs to take drugs, he must follow the doctor's advice, do not increase the amount of medication, and do not blindly give the child drugs containing hormones.
