How important is height to a person? This question should be answered separately, for most girls, height is an additional condition, short and short can not be counted as a disadvantage, grow tall and taller with some additional points will be higher;
But for boys, height is the basic condition, and short boys may be treated unfairly at work, socially and so on.
So whether it is a child or a parent, of course, they all hope that the boys in the family can achieve a certain advantage in height.
How tall is the boy "stereotyped"? 18 years old and 170 years old is a hurdle
Although parents always pay attention to the height of boys, because they do not understand the law of children's physical development, they often feel that they are not tall enough when they are not long, and it is too late to make up for it the day after tomorrow.
But there are also some parents who are too nervous and stare at their children's height all the time, resulting in anxiety for themselves and their children.
So when the child will grow, when not, and when to stop growing, these key points in time, parents must have a number in mind.
The two "peaks" of children's long height – infantile and toddler and puberty
Both boys and girls, physical development will follow the inherent rules, "Pediatrics" clearly pointed out that there are two "peaks" in the growth of children's height, namely infancy and adolescence.
Within 9 months after the baby is born, the rate of physical growth is very fast, and the height can increase by about 25 cm after one year of birth;
Before the age of 5, children's height can increase by 6 to 9 cm per year;
From the age of 8, the growth rate of height slows down, with an average annual increase of 5 cm in height.
After the first peak of height growth has passed, the height of children may not change significantly, even to the point of "stagnation", but in a few years, a second peak of height growth will be ushered in.
After entering puberty, in addition to the secondary sexual characteristics of the child, the development of the body has also entered an important stage, especially the height will increase significantly.
If adequate nutrition is accompanied by adequate exercise, it is also possible that the child's height exceeds the genetic limits of the parents.
When puberty is completely over, there will be no new bone growth, at which time the child's height development will be pressed to stop the button.
18 years old means adulthood and is also a symbol of the end of puberty.
According to experience, most children's height will be fixed around the age of 18, and for boys, 18 is the first hurdle for height stereotyping.
If the height of the 18-year-old has not yet reached 170cm, it will be difficult to grow taller even if there is a chance to develop later.
There are also some special cases:
However, in reality, the development of boys is always "one step later" than that of girls, and even many boys are still growing up in college, so it is not age that should be referred to, but growth factors.
The signal released by the stop of height growth is the closure of the epiphyseal line, which is also the basis for medical judgment of whether the child has stopped growing tall.
The epiphyseal line is transparent, and when the epiphyseal line becomes narrower and narrower or even reaches a closed state, the height really does not grow taller, and most boys have the epiphyseal line closed at the age of 17 to 18 years old.
However, there are also special cases, after research, it has been found that the epiphyseal line also has the phenomenon of false closure, and the false closure of the epiphyseal line is mostly caused by bad posture or action.
That is to say, at this time, although the epiphyseal line is closed, it does not mean that the height cannot grow, which can explain why some boys will "sneak away" after going to college or even after work.
Mother's Message:
Regardless of whether the epiphyseal line is normally closed or falsely closed, for children who grow and develop, height is one of the important external developments that should not be ignored.
Especially now, many professions and jobs have made clear restrictions on height, and height in love and marriage will also bring different results to boys.
And pay attention to height development should not be anxious until puberty, but from the beginning of a healthy diet, to meet all the needs of physical development, and at the right age with children to exercise, long-term stable growth is the key to height breakthrough.
It is good for parents to expect their children to grow tall, but do not rush to achieve success and rely on supplements, growing tall and growing up are changes in the body and need a process...
