Hey, our husband and wife are only one meter and six tall, and now looking at the children are shorter than their peers, I am really worried that the children will not grow tall in the future, complaining about us as parents, you say what should I do?
This is something that a mom often says, and it's so heartfelt.
It is said that it is now a world of faces, but in fact, height is also very important, otherwise so many parents would not have so many worries about their children's height.
So do you know what your child's height is?
Take a look at the picture below:
This is a table of height and weight percentiles for men and women aged 0-18 years.
Moms and dads can compare their children's age, height, and weight to see what stage their children are at.
There are values for 3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 97th in the table, which represent the percentile of the child's height and weight.
In layman's terms, it is similar to the ranking table, if there are 100 children participating in the ranking, the 3rd is the 3rd from short to tall, and the same reason, 10th is the 10th from short to high, which is the bottom in the table.
That is, 1 to 3 are on the short side, 4 to 25 are middle and lower, 25--75 are medium, 50 are standard, 75 to 90 are middle and upper, and then higher is high.
If your own children are within 50, it means that the height of the child is lagging behind the same age, and if the child's rank is more than 50, it means that the child's height is higher than that of the same age.
But the height of the child is also related to heredity, and we should also refer to the height of the parents when we refer to the chart.
In fact, in life, we see many children who are much taller than their parents.
So don't think that the height of the child is only related to heredity, in fact, we all know that heredity only accounts for about 60% to 70% of the proportion, and about 30% to 40 can be changed.
The old saying "spring birth, summer long, autumn harvest, winter Hiding", all say that spring is the season of growth and height, the speed is 2 times or more than usual, and it is the spring of each year, parents who are worried that their children are not tall enough to get busy!
01
Let your child sleep well
Can you grow taller while sleeping?
You read that right, if your child can sleep well, it is also a way to grow tall.
The child's growth is inseparable from growth hormone, which can be said to be all year round, secreted every day, and 24 hours at work.
But growth hormone is more active at night, and it can better act on the child's growth when the child is asleep, and if the child does not sleep at night, the growth hormone will not be secreted.
So sleeping well can really grow taller.
It is recommended that your child sleep each day:
Babies under one year old sleep 14-16 hours a day;
1-3-year-old babies sleep 12-14 hours a day;
Children aged 4-6 sleep 10-12 hours a day;
Children over 7 years old sleep 9-10 hours a day.
It is recommended that children do not sleep too late, and should go to bed at 8-9 o'clock at night; do not get up too early, it is best to get up after 7 o'clock.
When children sleep, they must not only sleep, but also sleep soundly, and high-quality sleep is the key.
About the child's daily sleep time is not a fixed formula, after all, the child is simply individual differences, as long as the child is energetic the next day, it means that the child sleeps well.
02
Let the child eat well
In addition to letting the child sleep well, other aspects should not be left behind, especially nutrition.
Such as meat, chicken, beef, fish, etc., can provide high-quality protein, calcium, iron and other nutrients;
Such as dairy products, but also to provide protein, calcium and other milk;
Such as vegetables and fruits, rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, etc., can promote the child's physical development, so that the child grows taller.
In short, eat more nutritious food is right, if there are children who do not like to eat but have nutritious food, then you must think of more ways to let the child eat.
When it comes to eating, lazy moms have something to say:
In fact, many children will have growth pain when they are developing relatively fast, and parents usually pay attention to adequate nutrition, but also appropriately supplement their children with additional calcium.
But what lazy mothers want to say is that before the lazy mother saw a recipe shared by a mother on the Internet, if the child has growth pain, then cook pig's trotter Huai yam soup for the child to drink, and soon the pain can be relieved.
The original lazy mother did not believe it, after all, this seems to be no basis, just last year the nephew grew particularly fast, the foot hurt very much, the doctor said that it was a growth pain, so he tried a pig's trotter yam soup, did not expect to be really effective ~ the foot does not hurt, and now the family often cooks this soup.
It is recommended that parents can also cook more of this soup, and adults and children can drink it.
03
Let the child exercise well
Children can't eat and sleep alone, but also exercise appropriately to stretch their muscles and bones.
Usually, you can let the child carry out more bouncing activities, of course, you can also be casual, the child can move on the line.
Be careful not to exercise excessively, children under the age of three can exercise for about 30 minutes a day, and children aged 4 to 7 years old can exercise for about 30 to 60 minutes a day.
Of course, exercise time is not the only criterion, because there are also exercise intensity and frequency.
In general, after exercise, you will not feel very tired, and you will not feel sore the next day, on the contrary, it should be the appropriate amount after the better state.
However, it is best to be outdoors, so that you can also properly bask in the sun, supplement natural vitamin D by the way, and promote the absorption of calcium.
This is also too simple, after all, for children, sports is like play, there is no difficulty, if you tell the child not to move, it is difficult.
If you want your child to grow taller, now is the best time of the year, the real thing is more effective, hurry up and act!
