Introduction: Understand the three growth acceleration periods, help children grasp every opportunity to "jump high"! Decipher the target height and predict the child's final height! Learn how quickly you're getting taller each year to help your child break through genetic height!
When I went to pick up my son from kindergarten in the evening, as soon as Ozawa's mother saw me, she took my hand and said to me, "You know what? Ozawa is 108 centimeters tall! The big rock in my heart has finally fallen! ”
I listened, and a look of surprise appeared on my face.
The average height of a 4-year-old boy is 104.1 cm, and Ozawa has grown to 108 cm at only 4 years and 2 months, which is not a standout, but it is also at the upper middle level among his peers.
You know, a year ago, it was less than 94 centimeters, and it was once judged as "short" by pediatricians, and Ozawa's mother still slept badly for this. She couldn't understand how the child's father was 180 and her own 168, and how the child was so short.
The doctor told Ozawa's mother, "Whether the child is tall or short, in addition to genetics, it is also affected by the acquired environment." Parents want their children to grow tall, in addition to letting their children play well, eat well, sleep well, and have a good mood, they must also record their children's height and monitor the growth and development of each period. ”
Ozawa's mother was determined to manage her child's height well.
But before that, we must first know where the ceiling of the child's height is, understand the growth law and the annual growth rate, in order to grasp every opportunity to "jump high".
Knowing the lack of this long-standing knowledge, she humbly asked the doctor for advice. Fortunately, the doctor was very patient and interpreted her questions one by one.
In this way, with her rich knowledge of height growth, she developed a set of tall plans suitable for children and started the journey of height management.
Kung Fu pays off, and in just one year, the child's height surpasses that of his peers. As her friend, I got the moon first near the water tower, and learned a lot of knowledge from her.
Now I share what I have learned with you without reservation in a combination of graphics and text.
Decipher the height of the target
"Are the children shorter than their peers?" "Can you reach your ideal height as an adult?" "This is a concern for many parents."
In fact, through the target height, we can roughly know where the child's height potential is going. Target height, also known as genetic height, is mainly used to predict the child's final height by using the height of the parents.
For example, Ozawa's father is 180 and his mother is 168, so Ozawa's adult height is (181 +168+13) ÷2=181cm; his sister's final height is (181+168-13) ÷2=168cm.
In general, it is normal for boys to float 6 cm up and down and girls up and down 5 cm. For example, Ozawa has a lower limit of 175 centimeters and an upper limit of 187 centimeters.
It can be seen from here that the range of height fluctuations is still quite large. If parents know how to go with the flow, they can fully stimulate the height potential of their children; if parents do not pay attention, it is difficult for children to achieve the ideal height.
Therefore, the heart should not be slackened.
Three growth acceleration periods
The growth of children's height does not develop at the same rate, but there are fast and slow.
According to the growth law, a child born about 50 cm tall will experience a total of three growth acceleration periods in the growth process of 15-18 years.
From this ICP model chart, it can be seen that the growth rate before the age of 3 and puberty is the fastest, and the growth rate of childhood is still relatively fast, although it has slowed down.
If before the age of 3 and adolescence is the golden age of growth, then childhood is the platinum period. It can be said that all three periods are full of gold content. If they are all firmly grasped, the daughter will grow to 165 and the son will break through 180, and there will be great hope!
Growth rate
Some parents like to compare their children with the children around them, and when they see their children shorter, they think that their children are really short.
In fact, to see whether the child's height is up to standard, in addition to looking at the height scale, you can also look at the child's growth rate. So how much is it normal for a child to grow taller each year?
You can compare this picture to see if the child has reached the normal level. If it is beyond the normal range, it is recommended to take your child to a professional doctor to see where the problem is, so that the right medicine is prescribed.
Height development is a parallel line, missed can not be repeated! If you want your child to jump up and down, you must do your homework, grasp every peak of development, and don't wait for the child's epiphyseal line to close before you think of helping your child.
