Daddy short one, mother short one nest? Is this old saying that has been circulating for many years true? After listening to the cries of my office colleague Xiaoling the other day, I decided to write this article.
Xiaoling and her boyfriend have been in love for 3 years, and both sides have determined that the other is the person who will live a happy life together in the future, so they decided to go back to their hometown to meet with their parents and discuss marriage.
Who knows, after her boyfriend's parents and Xiaoling met, they refused to talk about marriage.
XiaoLing couldn't help it, and secretly asked her boyfriend if his parents were dissatisfied with her. The boyfriend said: "In fact, there is nothing, they feel that our height is not matched, I am 178cm, you are 153cm, worried that the children will follow you in the future." ”
Listening to the boyfriend's explanation, he asked him uneasily: "Then what do you think in your heart?" The boyfriend took a deep breath and said softly: "What my parents said also has a certain truth, the father is short, the mother is short, in case our children follow you..."
When the boyfriend said these words, Xiaoling was already in tears, and the happiness of the past had gradually blurred... Silently went back to the room to pack his bags, the boyfriend was next to him, and there was no intention of blocking. Holding back the heartache, Xiao Ling returned alone.
When she returned, she asked the sisters in the office: Is it really reasonable that the father is short and the mother is short? For Xiaoling's encounter, we are very sympathetic, have checked her information, and finally found the answer.
So, does it really make sense for the father to be short and the mother to be short and a nest?
Data from the Institute of Child and Adolescent Health of Peking University show that the probability of the influence of father and mother height on offspring is 0.89 and 0.87, indicating that the height of the child is jointly determined by the parents, and the statement that the height is high with the mother is not accurate.
Everyone inherits a double "height gene" from their parents, and those who get two "tall" genes at the same time may be a few centimeters taller than those who get two "short" genes at the same time. If one of the parents is not tall, it increases the chances of the child getting the "short" gene.
There are a large number of studies that show that many genes that affect height are located on autosomal bodies, so parents have the same degree of influence on the height of their offspring. The influence of each gene on height is large and small, the synergy between each other is also very complex, if the man's family is particularly short, the woman even if she is tall, there is a great chance of giving birth to a short child, I believe that everyone is not short of living examples.
Take my family as an example, I am 156cm tall (short), and my husband is 175cm. My son is currently 13 years old and already has a height of 173cm, according to this situation, the child should be above 175CMC in adult height.
So, if the child is not tall, should I blame my father or my mother? I believe that there is already an answer here, and after my mother reads this answer, she can rest assured.
If your parents are not tall, are you doomed to be a "dwarf"?
I know that many parents now attach more importance to their children's height, one is related to the appearance, and the other is that the child has more employment options.
So, if the parents are not tall, is the child destined to be a "dwarf"? Parents are not tall, you can also rely on the day after tomorrow to work hard! Genetic factors only determine about 70% of a child's final height, and about 30% of a child's final height is determined by acquired factors.
Parents are ordinary height and even parents are not tall, and children can grow to the ideal height through the efforts of the day after tomorrow. Living examples such as: Jeremy Lin and Jordan, their genetic height is not outstanding among basketball players, their parents are only ordinary height, but they have also worked hard to get rid of genetic influences through their own acquired efforts.
So, what are some good ways to help your child grow taller?
Factors affecting a child's acquired height mainly include: nutrition, sleep, mood, exercise, etc., each of which is very important. We can help our children grow taller through these methods.
(1) Give your child a proper increase in nutrition
Nutritional balance is the basic guarantee of children's physical development. On the basis of ensuring that the child's nutrition is balanced, parents can appropriately increase the high nutritional density of food for the child, such as: beef, fish, shrimp, eggs, dairy products, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits.
In addition, let children develop a good habit of not being partial to food and not being picky about food. After developing good eating habits, the child's usual food can provide enough nutrition for the child to help the child grow tall.
(2) Let the child enjoy the exercise
Growth hormone in the human body will increase after exercise, and moderate exercise will also promote bone development. Sports suitable for promoting long and tall are: running, basketball, badminton, tennis, jump rope, bouncing, swimming and so on.
If your child has a favorite sport, parents should encourage their child to participate more. If the child does not have a favorite sports, parents can also guide them appropriately and lead by example, so that children gradually like sports.
(3) Get enough sleep
According to research findings, growth hormone is mainly related to sleep duration and sleep quality. The secretion of growth hormone during deep sleep is several times more than that of waking, so adequate sleep can more effectively ensure the secretion of growth hormone.
Only when the child sleeps well can it positively affect the child's growth and intellectual development, and sleep also has a great impact on the child's concentration and emotional management ability.
As a mother, little bookworm mother believes that instead of dwelling on the height of her children, I would like to give my children a healthy and happy childhood, a loving family and a lifelong confidence and courage. #育儿有妙招 #
