The little girl is a "dwarf", easy to be laughed at, and will bring inconvenience to study and life. For example, when you go to school, you can only sit in the front row, and after graduation, looking for a job will be limited by height, and even the person you talk to may be disliked. In the end, every parent expects their child to grow tall, not easy to be buried in the crowd, and to be superior.
No parent expects a child to be short and become a "dwarf." Especially parents who value appearance, pay more attention to the height development of their children, always stare at the child's height value, and desire the child to grow taller quickly and give the image a higher score.
Ms. Bao Ma Tian is such a mother who "hopes to grow taller", and his son Xiaotian is 5 years old this year. However, the child's height is sad for the mother, the mother helped the baby measure the height 3 times this month, but Xiaotian's height is motionless, always 100cm, which makes Ms. Tian very anxious.
Normally, the height of children of the same age around them can reach about 111.3cm for boys and about 110.2cm for girls. Only Xiaotian was not even 100cm, and her mother caught fire when she thought of this, and even began to blame her short height, delaying the child's external image.
In order to get rid of anxiety, the mother decided to find out the truth about the child's short height. Xiaotian's mother deliberately looked through the books, which understood the real reason for the child's short height, probably in these two aspects. Moreover, my mother finally knew what she should do!
The reasons for the short stature of children are mainly in these two aspects:
The first aspect: genetic factors
About 70% of a child's height as an adult depends on genetic factors. Starting from a child or a fertilized egg, it slowly and gradually develops, and the whole process cannot escape the influence of congenital factors.
Moreover, the genetic factor of height has the characteristics of "family aggregation", and if the height of the person in the family is higher, the higher the child's height, the greater the possibility. Conversely, children may also grow relatively short with their father or mother.
The second aspect: the acquired factor
In addition to genetic factors, about 30% of the reasons for children's short stature come from acquired influences. For example, diet, exercise, sleep, etc., will have a certain impact on the child's height growth. If the comprehensive performance of all aspects is not conducive to height increase, then the probability of the child being short is higher.
However, it should be noted that whether the height of the child is really short is not determined by the parent's feelings, but by the actual data.
Do you want to know if your child is a "dwarf"? Is he too short? Here's the freshly baked 2022 Children's Height Standard Sheet, so parents come and compare their children's heights!
The 2022 Children's Height Standard Sheet is out! See if your baby is short?
As you can see from the table, there are clear numerical indicators of the height standards of young children in each age group in 2022. If your child's height is lower than this "standard value", it means that your child's height is short.
Just as the so-called "foundation is not solid, the ground is shaking", if the child's genes are poor, the baby needs to pay special attention to it at the age of 0-6 years old, and step up to increase height. Because, in the three golden periods of children's height growth, the early childhood period is a crucial period of height increase.
0-6 years old children are in a fierce long period, 1 year can increase by about 25cm, this age of children height will eventually determine about 60% of the height, can not be ignored.
If your baby is like Ms. Tian's son, she is born with poor genetic conditions and is very short. So, is there a chance to increase?
Of course, although the height of the child cannot be "pulled out to promote growth", it can be slowly increased through the way of the day after tomorrow under the careful care of the parents, so that the child grows tall. At that time, parents no longer have to feel inferior to feel that "daddy is short, mother is short", these are fallacies.
So, what are some good ways to help your child get taller?
As mentioned earlier, there are many methods of acquired height increase, so here are two very effective methods of height increase! As long as parents can insist on accompanying their children to increase their heights, basically their children can increase a lot. What's more, both are great for children to get taller and effortless.
The first method: sleep elevation method, promote growth hormone secretion
Yes, you heard it right. If you can let the child sleep scientifically and promote the secretion of growth hormone, then it may help the child to increase the height unconsciously. This is because the secretion of human growth hormone is mostly carried out after the child is asleep at night, and when the child sleeps for about an hour, the secretion of growth hormone will reach a peak.
If the child can get a good night's sleep, it will be particularly beneficial to the increase in the child's height. The specific method is also super simple, let the child maintain a pleasant mood every day, fall asleep before 10 o'clock, and enter a deep sleep state early.
The second method: diet heightening method, eat more elevated foods
If you want to help your child grow taller, you can start from the diet, help your child arrange diet scientifically, and let your child eat more elevated foods in moderation. For example, foods containing calcium, vitamins, proteins, and amino acids are very good for children's height development.
Strawberries, dates, green peppers, cauliflower and other vegetables and fruits, is a typical heightened food, if the short child can often eat, digestion and absorption, will have a helping effect on the child's height.
For example, red dates contain protein, amino acids, B vitamins, can play a role in promoting calcium absorption, enhance bones to promote height; cauliflower contains calcium elements, vitamins, proteins and other components, which is very conducive to digestion and absorption, balance dietary structure, improve the body's immunity, and promote children to grow tall.
There are also many foods, all of which belong to the elevated food. Such as broad beans, black sesame seeds, etc., they can cook a variety of delicacies, in different ways in front of the child, arouse the child's small worms. Children have a big appetite, fall in love with eating without being anorexic, and are more likely to grow tall and strong.
Accompanying the child to increase height is a very important thing, in addition to the genetic factors can not be changed, then the acquired factor parents must grasp, resolutely do not let the child become a tall short, to the end of the taste of pain to know regret.
