"One white covers all ugliness, one dwarf destroys everything", the height of the child is one of the topics that parents are most concerned about. However, the child's growth rate is not carried out at a uniform rate, but a curve of overall upward and phased sprints. Generally speaking, children grow faster in spring and summer than in autumn and winter.
Now that it is spring, have parents seized on their children's fierce long-term?
What will happen to a child who enters the long term? Children at each stage will be slightly different, but overall there are 3 signals in common.
The first "abnormal" signal: the child suddenly becomes a snack bar
"After eating, I want to eat, and I will be hungry after a while", when the child grows strongly, the body will consume a lot of energy, so instinctively it will eat more and be hungry fast. Moreover, adolescent children may eat more than adults.
Due to the small stomach capacity of children, there are not too many things that can be eaten in a single time, so if the body consumes a lot of energy and nutrients to grow tall, the child will be more likely to be hungry. If the child suddenly becomes hungry and eats a lot in the recent period, the child is likely to be in the long run.
For babies who are young, they may not ask their parents what they want to eat, but they may use "crying" to express that they want to breastfeed. At this time, the caregiver needs to carefully find that if the interval between the child's feeding becomes shorter, excluding physical diseases, the child is likely to be in a "violent long-term".
The second "abnormal" signal: the child's sleep habits have changed, and they have slept better or slept worse
The energy consumption of the long-term body is large, the child is more likely to be tired, and the demand for sleep is significantly increased. Falling asleep is faster than usual, I can't get up when I get up, I am prone to drowsiness during the day, or my nap time has increased. At this time, parents should respect his own sleep time, non-special circumstances, try to let the child sleep until the natural awakening.
However, there are also some younger children who will experience "sleep regression" after entering a long period of time. This is because in the sleep state, the body is still growing at a high speed, that is, "the brain wants to rest, but the bones are working overtime."
Therefore, the body may have uncomfortable situations, causing children to be irritable, may cry, wake up. In this case, parents must be gentle and appeased, and must not be impatient to complain.
The third "abnormal" signal: growing pain
Long-term children's bones develop rapidly, the burden on the legs is relatively heavy, and the lower limbs may be congested, which is prone to "growth pain". If the child often says that the leg is very painful, it will be aggravated at night, but the pain site has no history of trauma, and there is no redness, swelling and tenderness, and the child can move normally, then there is a high probability that there is growth pain.
Most cases of growth pain do not require medication, but nutrition should be supplemented in time and relieved by means of hot compresses and massage. In addition, it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise so as not to aggravate the pain.
After discovering the arrival of the child for a long time, parents should pay enough attention to it and skillfully help their children through the following methods.
One: Exercise in moderation
Exercise can strengthen the child's metabolism, promote the secretion of growth hormone, and at the same time can consume physical energy, so that the child's appetite and sleep quality are improved, and indirectly promote the growth of bones and muscles. However, it must be noted that increasing the high jump, playing badminton, pull-ups, etc. can help the body to pull the movement, to avoid overloaded sports such as weightlifting.
At the same time, do not let the child be too tired, because the energy consumption of the long-term itself is large, and if you exercise vigorously, it will have a negative effect on the body.
Two: Provide a good sleeping environment for children
While your child is asleep, the pituitary gland secretes more growth hormone. At the same time, the muscles of the person in the sleep state relax, which is conducive to the extension of joints and bones.
Try to go to bed early. Studies have shown that relatively speaking, after 10 pm, it will enter the peak period of growth hormone secretion. So try to get your child into deep sleep before 10 o'clock. Also, to avoid light stimulation of children, it is best not to turn on even the night light at night, because light will affect the secretion of growth hormone.
Three: scientific with the diet, not only to eat full, but also to eat delicious and wonderful
Nutritional balance is the basic premise of children's bone and muscle growth and development, so eating right is the top priority of children's height.
It is mentioned in some professional nutrition and books that promote growth and height: sugars, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and water are the 7 weapons of our normal operation. Among these substances, protein, vitamins, calcium and zinc play a pivotal role in the development of children's bones.
However, many parents do not understand, but fall into the misunderstanding of ingredients, so that children eat without nutrition, but affect the health of children.
Myth 1: Common ingredients are worthless
Ordinary ingredients have no nutritional value? In fact, even the most common ingredients contain the long-height code. For example, rice, fungus, green pepper, do you feel ordinary? But the effect of helping the heights is not small!
And these ingredients, parents in their daily life is easy to buy, so to their children to eat, not only the price is not expensive, the increase effect is also very good.
Myth 2: Big fish and big meat are more delicious
In fact, too many meat dishes are easy to cause indigestion, when cooking for children, parents should pay attention to meat and vegetarian collocation, so that it is conducive to children to attract nutrients, which is more conducive to growing tall. For example, cucumber stir-fried fungus, 2 common vegetarian dishes are cleverly matched, but the nutritional value should not be underestimated, parents can give their children more to eat.
Myth 3: Complex practices are required to complete the meal
For busy working parents, as long as the lazy meal is done correctly, it can still provide rich nutrition for their children. For example, "black sesame black soy milk" is very simple, but the nutrition is very rich, which has a great role in promoting the growth of children, and parents can often make it for their children to drink for breakfast. And it is not difficult to do, put 2 kinds of ingredients into the soy milk machine, one button to open, simply not too simple.
Myth 4, children of different ages cook and eat equally, thinking that this makes no difference for children to grow taller
In fact, due to the physical development of children of different ages, language expression ability, and the difference in life schedules, making a height increase meal requires certain differential treatment, so that the child can grow taller at different stages than other children.
If you still have some misunderstandings about your ingredients, or don't know how to make nutritious meals for your children, you can buy some books to learn.
