Swiped a piece of news on the Internet:
I heard that jump rope helps to grow tall, and a Hangzhou mother forced her daughter to jump rope 3,000 times a day.
The daughter is also very considerate of her mother's good intentions, and has been gritting her teeth and insisting.
But jumping and jumping, the child suddenly felt that the pain in his left knee was unbearable.
The mother thinks that the child wants to be lazy:
"I don't want to insist on it now, and I won't grow up in the future, and it's you who regret it."
The child had to raise an "objection" and it was really painful!
Later, the mother took her daughter to the hospital for examination, only to find that the child suffered from epiphysitis of the tibia of the tibia.
When such a thing happens, no matter which parent it is placed on, it is both painful, self-blame, and regret.
As parents, we understand this mother's feelings, after all, who doesn't want their children to be taller?
As a national sport, skipping rope is easy to learn and has many benefits.
In particular, since jump rope was selected for the examination project, some parents are worried that they will not be able to pass the "jump rope pass" and spend money to send their children to a class of 200 yuan for special training.
As everyone knows, although there is a "chicken baby" of blood, but it is used in the wrong place, the harm is still the child.
Crazy jump rope isn't the only trick to growing tall
I want my children to grow taller, and there's nothing wrong with that.
However, there are many factors that affect a child's height.
Simply forcing children to jump rope, often, the final result is not satisfactory.
Like what:
A mother in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, forced her 13-year-old daughter to jump rope 2,000 times a day. As a result, the child could not adapt to such high-intensity training at all, and gambled away from home after "protesting ineffectively".
A 10-year-old boy was also diagnosed with calcaneal epiphysis because he was stared at 2,000-3,000 jump ropes every day.
……
Jump rope, which is regarded by many parents as a "shortcut" to height development, has a relatively large burden on children's knees.
Especially when the child's weight is relatively large and the jump rope movement is not standardized, it is likely to cause the child's lower limb joint strain, or cause irreversible damage to the knee, ankle and other parts.
That is to say, the seemingly simple and convenient jump rope movement is not the more the better.
If you want to help your child grow taller, you still have to pay attention to strategy.
According to the national health standards, the score of one-minute jump rope for primary school boys is as follows:
The grades for primary school girls are as follows:
That is to say, when jumping rope, you should slow down a little, and keep jumping at 80-120 per minute.
And the duration should not be too long, 15-20 minutes can be, can be divided into multiple groups to complete, each group 3-5 minutes, between groups rest 1-2 minutes.
As for how many jumps should be done every day?
According to the age and physical fitness of the child, 600-1000 jumps are recommended for 5-7 years old, and 1000-2000 after primary school.
Of course, it also depends on the actual situation of the child, so as not to be tired and not injured, and to promote development.
When jumping rope, also pay attention to the following details:
Be sure to prepare a suitable jump rope for your child and adjust the length of the jump rope;
Warm up for 5-10 minutes before jumping to allow your body to stretch adequately.
Stretching and relaxation are performed at the end of the day, and a muscle massage is performed if necessary.
It is best to wear sportswear or light clothing, soft-soled cloth shoes or sports shoes with strong shock resistance;
Choose a resilient plastic runway and try not to jump on hard cement floors.
During the rope jumping process, the legs are constantly jumping and the arms are constantly swinging, so that the circulation of the bones can be improved, the secretion of growth hormone is stimulated, and the growth plate growth is promoted.
However, skipping rope is not the only trick to grow tall, what really stimulates children's growth and development is physical exercise!
Children "grow slowly" and may not grow tall in the future
I once saw two topics like this on Weibo:
#因为身高吃过的亏 #
#因为身高受过的委屈 #
The two topics attracted many netizens to discuss, and the total number of readings exceeded 10 million!
I believe that many parents have had such anxiety:
"My children are much shorter than children of the same age, will they not grow tall in the future?"
Some parents have also asked this question:
"Some children grow up early, some children grow up late? How do I know if my child is growing up late or not? ”
In order to relieve the child's height anxiety and the illusion of not being tall, we must first understand the child's height development law.
There are three key periods for determining a child's height:
Infantile (0-3 years), school age (3-7 years), and adolescence (8-14 years).
To know whether the height of their children is up to standard, parents can refer to the "Reference Standards for the Growth and Development of Children under 7 Years of Age in China" formulated by the Department of Maternal and Child Health and Community Health of the Ministry of Health and the "Evaluation Standards for the Height and Development Of Children/Adolescents Aged 7-18 Years Old" issued by the National Health Commission.

Criteria for evaluating the height development level of children/adolescents aged 7-18 years (female)
In addition to looking at the current height, it is more important to pay attention to the individual growth rate of their children.
After all, every child's height growth rate is different every year:
Children aged 0-1 years, grow an average of 25-26 cm per year;
Children aged 1-2 years, grow an average of 10-13 cm per year;
Children aged 2-3 years, with an average growth rate of 8-10 cm per year;
4 years old - adolescent children, the average growth rate is 5-7 cm per year.
You can regularly measure and record your child's height, draw a graph, compare it with the above reference standards, and observe whether the child's growth rate is normal.
Although some children are shorter than their peers, their annual growth rate is not slow, which is in line with the growth law.
Then this kind of child may belong to the late growth, not to the short stature, parents do not have to worry too much.
If your child's growth curve suddenly rises or falls significantly, it is best to take your child to a professional doctor for a comprehensive assessment.
What you know is that those so-called hormone needles, growth stickers, oral elevation drugs, etc.,
It doesn't really determine a child's future height, and sometimes it can be counterproductive.
What parents can do should be to provide conditions as much as possible to ensure that their children "play normally", rather than trying to find various ways to let their children "play extra long".
If you want your child to grow taller, it is useful to do these few things well
The results of the study showed that 70% of the child's height is determined by genes, and the remaining 30% is affected by the environment.
This means that
Even if the parents themselves are not tall and want their children's height to achieve a counterattack, there is a high probability that they can still use the acquired factor to complete it.
Dou Mom recommends several ways to help your child grow taller:
1. Balanced diet
A balanced diet is a core element of a child's growth.
In daily life, it is necessary to supplement children with protein, calcium, vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients.
The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that a balanced diet should achieve an average intake of more than 12 foods per day and more than 25 foods per week.
It is worth noting, though, that
A high-sugar, high-salt, high-calorie diet can easily cause overnutrition and may induce precocious puberty in children.
Precocious puberty is a common cause of premature closure of the epiphyseal line and can directly affect a child's future height.
Therefore, it is still necessary to have a balanced nutrition and a reasonable diet.
2. Get enough sleep
There is a large amount of evidence that the peak period of growth hormone secretion is closely related to the child's deep sleep stage, and the longer the deep sleep, the more growth hormone secretion is obtained.
Generally from falling asleep to entering a deep sleep, it takes about 40-60 minutes,
Therefore, it is best for children to fall asleep before 9 pm and get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, which is more conducive to growing taller.
In general, newborns sleep 14-20 hours a day, 12-14 hours at 1-3 years old, and 11-12 hours at 4-6 years old.
The article "Notice on Further Strengthening the Sleep Management of Primary and Secondary School Students" issued by the Ministry of Education of the Mainland clearly stipulates that
Elementary school students need to ensure 10 hours of sleep per day, junior high school students should reach 9 hours, and high school students should reach 8 hours.
Of course, sleep duration is not the only criterion, sleep quality is the most important.
3. Exercise appropriately
Studies have shown that children who regularly participate in sports, especially outdoor sports, can be about 4-10 cm taller than children who do not exercise.
The mainland's first "Exercise Guidelines for Preschool Children (3-6 years old)" recommends that children aged 3-6 should have a cumulative physical activity time of more than 180 minutes per day, and the outdoor activity time should not be less than 120 minutes.
Children who are slightly older can appropriately increase the exercise time according to their physical condition, but they cannot overdose.
You can perform more of the following exercises:
swim. Not only can the body be well stretched and stimulate epiphyseal cartilage hyperplasia, but cardiopulmonary function can be exercised to help it have a stronger body.
Ball sports. Badminton, basketball, football and other balls, in the process of sports, there will be some jumping and stretching actions, which plays a good role in stretching the child's body, thereby helping the child grow taller.
Single parallel bars. Pull-ups, horizontal bars and other actions play a role in stretching children's ligaments and bones, helping to lengthen the body.
4. Maintain a pleasant mood
Psychologists believe that children with high psychological pressure, or long-term anxiety and depression, neuroendocrine function will be disrupted, affecting the secretion of growth hormone, resulting in a slowdown in height development.
Keeping children in a good mood in life is more conducive to growth and development.
In normal times, parents should communicate more with their children, try to understand their children's inner thoughts, and use good psychological states and behavior habits to affect their children's growth.
The growth of children is a natural process.
Don't use adult standards to demand children, and don't force your own thoughts into children.
Don't worry too much, and don't lie flat.
Respecting the child's natural growth law is the best way, and blindly pulling up seedlings to promote growth will only backfire.
