Moms and dads all want their children to grow taller quickly, how tall can their children grow? In fact, many parents have many misunderstandings about their children's growth and development.
Myth 1: Parents grow taller late, and so do children.
Xiao Xu is 15 years old and only 1.6 meters tall, but the child's father said that he was in high school and did not have to worry. The mother took the child to the doctor and found that the child's epiphyseal was basically closed, about 1 centimeter longer. In other words, the ultimate height of the child is only about 1.61 meters. The reason for the analysis is that there are individual differences in growth and development, and parents are delayed, and children may not be delayed. Although heredity has a certain influence, if the child has more health problems during the golden period of growth, it will hinder the process of growth and development.
Myth two: low-weight children can still "catch up with height" after the age of 2.
Full-term low-weight infants refer to children who weigh less than 2.5 kg at birth and are less than 47 cm tall, and more than 70% will have catch-up growth after birth and catch up to normal age level height before the age of 2 years. But if you are short at birth and still can't catch up with your peers by the age of 2, the chances of reaching your normal height are slim. Therefore, parents should get out of the misunderstanding, if the child is born with low weight, we must pay attention to the curve of its growth and development.
Myth three: Girls can grow up for a few years after menstruation.
Many mothers feel that their daughters have just come to menstruation and will definitely be able to grow for a few years. In fact, there are errors in parents' judgment of their children's adolescent growth and development, and there is not much room for catching up with the height of their peers at this time. Therefore, parents should pay special attention to the fact that once the child has signs of precocious puberty at the age of eight or nine, he should take him to the doctor as soon as possible so as not to delay the best diagnosis and treatment time.
Short stature is treatable, the sooner the better and the lower the cost of treatment. In China, 4 years of age is generally considered to be the dividing line for determining the shortness of a child. If you feel that the child's height is not ideal, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a complete examination, under the guidance of the doctor for growth hormone therapy, the child is not tall, then you need exogenous supplementation of growth hormone to make up for the lack of secretion of the part. At the same time, pairing your child with a reasonable diet and exercise will achieve an ideal effect!
