In this season of growth of all things, it is the best time for children to grow their bodies. A study by the World Health Organization confirmed that children have significant seasonal growth and development, with spring growing the fastest and growing 2-2.5 times faster in height than in autumn.
I believe that many parents are worried about the height of their children, and every parent hopes that their children can develop better, so what is the trick to grow tall? Xiaobian this will take you to find out
Height development level classification criteria
A few days ago, the National Health Commission issued the "7-18-year-old children and adolescents height development level evaluation", the child's height development is divided into 5 levels:
Inferior: Height <-2 SD
Lower Middle: height ≥-2SD and <-1SD
Medium: height ≥-1 SD and ≤ +1 SD
Upper Middle: Height > +1SD and ≤ +2SD
Upper: Height > +2SD
Note: SD is standard deviation
In contrast, did your child meet the standards?
Height prediction formula
Wondering how tall your child might grow in the future? At present, there is a more mature formula for predicting the adult height of children:
Son's adult height (cm) = (father's height + mother's height) × 1.08÷2
Daughter's adult height (cm) = (father's height ×0.923 + mother's height) ÷2
The influence of genetic factors on height
If the child's height is not ideal after calculation, don't worry too much, because this formula predicts only a genetic trend.
Genetic factors have a large influence on height, but no more than 80% at most.
In real life, many children's height is much higher than the predicted height, which is why non-genetic factors have fully played a role. In other words, the child's height "7 points depend on genetics, 3 points rely on hard work".
If the parents correctly help the development, the child can have 8 to 15cm of upward space.
Therefore, parents who want to help their babies break through their genetic height should not be discouraged, grasp the "golden period of growing tall" in spring, and science will help children grow tall! But first of all, be careful not to step on these common "pits"
Myth 1 Calcium supplementation as soon as you increase your height
Many parents mention that their children grow tall, they think of "calcium supplementation", in fact, although calcium is very important for children, "calcium supplementation" can not be blindly supplemented.
It should be known that excessive calcium supplementation will not only cause constipation in children, but also cause calcification of bones and external organs. Moreover, excessive intake of calcium supplements may cause the epiphyseals of young children to close prematurely.
In fact, in general, children's daily diet is normal and balanced, and they can generally take in enough calcium.
In addition to calcium, there is another element that is often overlooked by parents, that is, vitamin D, which promotes the body's absorption of calcium.
Letting children bask in the sun in the spring is like letting plants "photosynthesize" in the sun, which is very helpful for children to increase their heights.
However, because the amount of synthesis is very limited, if your child is deficient in vitamin D, they will need to take a daily vitamin D supplement as directed by their doctor.
Myth 2 Eating "tonics" indiscriminately
Supplements are easy for children to develop early and accelerate the closure of the epiphyseals. At that time, the child not only did not grow much taller, but also more likely to become a dysfunctional little fat man.
Myth 3 Hit growth hormone and take elevating pills
In the health food function announced by the State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), there is no "grow tall" item, so don't pay the IQ tax anymore!
All kinds of "heightening drugs", supplements, health care products, especially oral liquids that advertise can grow tall, most of them add hormones, which can easily induce precocious puberty in children, resulting in early closure of the bone scale line, but it is easy for children to grow tall!
Myth 4 Use a stretcher and a stretch bed
There are many stretchers, stretch beds and other "heightening" equipment on the market.
These devices can only temporarily increase the joint space, and will be restored immediately after rest, which does not have much effect on the final height of the baby, and it is easy to bring damage, and the gain is not worth the loss!
Myth 5 Eat more and grow taller
The various organs of the child's body have not yet matured, and too much nutritional supplementation can lead to indigestion of the child on the one hand, on the other hand, excess nutrition is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, there are problems such as difficulty in defecation, and it may also be counterproductive, and how to eat is not fat, and the situation is not high.
Science grows taller, and these exercises are practiced
In fact, to develop good living habits for children, adequate sleep, nutritional and balanced diet and appropriate exercise, so that the normal secretion of growth hormone is the real trick of "heightening".
The following sports that are conducive to children's growth and height can be quickly taken advantage of the holiday to let children practice!
1. Horizontal bar overhang
Horizontal bar overhang, 20-30 seconds each time, first do no load overhang, and then do load overhang, according to the child's ability to do forward hand grip overhang, you can also hang upside down. Pulling the body, assisted by Mom and Dad, one holding hands and one grasping the feet while gently pulling the body in the opposite direction, each time for 20 seconds, repeating.
2. Climb the wall and touch the height
Stand facing the wall, draw a marker line on the wall, and then, let the child tiptoe up and stretch the fingers of both hands up the wall as far as possible, trying to touch or exceed the marking line. Then slowly lower the heel with the hand. When doing the ascent exercise, inhale, the abdominal muscles are forced; exhale when lowering, and the abdominal muscles relax. Do it several times.
3. Jump high
The feet quickly and vigorously pedal the ground, while the arms are slightly bent from the back to the front and swing upwards, jumping forward and upward, and fully extending. Start jumping on the knees in place, do a straight leg stand-up action in the air, the hip joint is fully opened, make a back arch movement, and bend the knee to cushion when landing. Do your best each time, try to jump as high as possible each time, repeatedly.
4. Swim
When your child stretches in the water, the ligaments can be stretched and the joints and bones will grow better. In particular, breaststrokes are more conducive to exercise. It is recommended that children aged 6-10 years old can start learning to swim. However, be sure to prepare for exercise before swimming, and do not swim for too long.
5. Basketball, volleyball, badminton
Basketball, volleyball, and badminton have many jumping and pulling movements, which can play a role in pulling muscles and ligaments and stimulating epiphyseal cartilage hyperplasia. If your child prefers more intense exercise, you can practice this.
6. Runhill
Young children, you can let them run slopes, find 20-30 meters long, the slope is not particularly large slope, let the children run back and forth, relax when climbing, accelerate when down, repeat 2-4 times, as long as you insist on doing it, it has a good role in promoting height.
At last
Xiao Media Jun reminds parents
Every child's growth pattern is different
We have to be treated normally
On the basis of following the laws of growth
Supplemented by favorable conditions
sometimes
Mom and Dad treat their children's height as an obsession
Day by day chanting, daily calcium supplementation, all kinds of nutrition together
But seedlings can only backfire
It is better to let go of "obsession"
No matter how tall the child grows
Harvest a healthy body
That's what matters!
