There is a saying in the countryside, "The father is short, the mother is short and the nest is short", so the tall women are in a disadvantageous position in marriage. Is there such a big genetic influence on her mothers on their children in terms of genetics? Let's take a look, what is it? It may be different from what everyone thinks
Mom and Dad have a similar impact on a child's height:
Scientists have pointed out that the genetic influence of fathers and mothers on the height of offspring is the same, of which 89% of parents and 87% of mothers, if you want to follow strict arguments, fathers shorter have more influence on offspring than mothers.
Therefore, in terms of science, the statement that "the father is short and short, the mother is short and short" is not in line with the facts, there is no scientific basis, perhaps it is just an extension of the traditional idea of male superiority and female inferiority, and the influence of parents' height on offspring is all blamed on the mother, and there is no credibility, no scientific basis.
What causes a child's height problem?
1. Nutritional factors
Children's development and growth, the need for the necessary nutritional elements, only the child's nutrition to keep up, children can develop better, mainland urban children are generally 2 to 4 cm taller than their rural peers, for this reason many parents like to give their children milk, eat supplements.
What needs to be reminded here is that nutritional supplementation needs to be appropriate, and there must be no excess nutrition, otherwise it will cause harm to the child's body.
2, usually eat too much
In order to make children grow taller, some parents always keep letting their children eat, even if the children are full, they will continue to coax their children to eat through various ways, and eat until they can no longer eat.
Folk legend has such a saying, eat seven points full, eat too full is not good, if you usually eat too full, there will be an increase in gastrointestinal burden, long-term damage to the health of the body, if you often give the child too full to eat, the brain may often appear fatigue state, not only affect the height, but also bring great disadvantages to intellectual development.
3. Hereditary short stature
Family inherited short stature is one of the reasons why children are not tall, family inheritance is not limited to the height of parents, if someone in the family has short stature, then the children in the family will also have a certain chance of suffering from the disease.
But the height of the child is not only determined by the congenital, the day after tomorrow's exercise and diet and height are very much related, so even if the parents are not high, as long as the child eats more and exercises, he can still grow very tall.

2. Good mental state
