Spring is the season when everything grows, and for children, spring is also the golden age of growing tall. How to grasp the spring golden growth period, scientific parenting, healthy growth? So what are the factors that affect your child's height? Let's take a look!
In real life, many parents do not pay enough attention to their children's growth and development on weekdays, and in the blind waiting, they finally miss the best time for growth and development. Until the epiphyseal is closed, they know that the child's growth and development hope is not great, so parents still have to pay attention to it.
First, the analysis of factors affecting children's height
1. Genetic causes: We can't change this, but it is not an absolute factor. The kind we often see, parents are short, children are tall;
2. Developmental factors: In the adolescent period before the age of 16-17, it can also grow tall through natural development, but after the age of 17, the bone line is closed, and it will not grow taller through development;
3. Sports factors: Before you are a teenager, you will find people who often do bouncing sports (such as jump rope, basketball, horizontal bar, etc.). Generally, they are highly developed, but after this period, doing these sports will not change much;
4. Nutritious diet: Especially in the development period, adequate nutrition (supplementation of calcium, amino acids, vitamins and other trace elements) can make children grow taller. Conversely, people who lack nutrients will be shorter, which is the effect of nutrition on growth and height;
5. Sleep factors: Some research institutions have found that from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., the developing child's body will secrete auxin, so people who often stay up late to play mobile phones generally do not develop well.
Second, can the child grow taller, and what is his potential? He can't just look at age, bone age is more important.
In fact, there are two "ages" in the growth and development of children, one is the age of life, which is what we call the age of children on a daily basis; the other is bone age, that is, bone age. Bone age can truly evaluate the biological age of children, objectively evaluate children's height growth level, and is the golden key to accurately evaluate children's development.
Parents are advised to check for growth and developmental disorders, such as precocious puberty, growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, etc. Once they find that the child has growth retardation, short stature, early bone age, and unsatisfactory height, they will consider it from the perspective of nutrition, sleep, exercise, and mood.
