In today's society of good looks, straight and slender legs must be a plus for a good body, but not everyone has big straight legs.
A few days ago, when I went downstairs to walk the baby, I heard the neighbors' big sisters get together to discuss the legs of Sister Li's daughter. Sister Li said: "My girlfriend looks handsome, slender, originally a good seedling to learn to dance, but yesterday took her to sign up to learn dance, the teacher said that her legs are not straight enough, worried about some of the effects on the stage in the future." ”
Someone next to me asked, "Why didn't you leggings for your children when you were a child?" Sister Li said with some regret: "This is all to blame me, when I was a child, the child's grandmother said to give her leggings, the leggings will grow straighter, at that time I was distressed that the child did not agree." Alas, it's too late to regret it! ”
Sister Zhang, who has not been nibbling, interjected: "No leggings is a good thing, and the leggings have a great impact on the child's leg shape, and if you don't get it right, it will be deformed, which is much more serious than the current situation." ”
Sister Zhang also comforted Sister Li: "Your child has a talent for dancing, as long as the dance looks good, who cares about the flaw in her leg shape?" Besides, now that TV stars have O-shaped and X-shaped legs, don't people still stand on the stage confidently? To say that the leg shape is good-looking, Europeans and Americans seem to be born with advantages, and the legs are white and straight. ”
European and American children have straighter legs than Asian children?
I've heard parents around me discuss this topic more than once. Out of curiosity, I have also paid close attention to the difference between the leg shape of European and American children and Asian children.
Indeed, from a certain point of view, whether European and American children are fat or thin, the overall leg shape will appear straighter than that of Asian children, and there are fewer cases of leg problems.
What causes differences in the shape of your child's legs?
I think that in addition to the difference in ethnic genes, it may also be because other acquired factors such as child feeding, limb guidance and living environment account for the main reason.
Leggings in infancy, leading to the development of the child's bones misaligned
In the mainland, many elderly people advocate "leggings" for children. The reason is that children always habitually curl their legs, and it is easy to become O-shaped legs when they grow up, and the way the leggings are fixed can interfere with the development of children's legs and make the legs look better when they grow up.
At first glance, it may sound reasonable, but in fact this approach is completely undesirable. The habitual curling position of newborns is not born with a leg shape problem, but a posture that is "forced" to be maintained by insufficient space in the womb. After birth, they will not adapt to their new living environment for a while and a half, so they still maintain what they think is safe and comfortable curled up.
This posture will not have a negative impact on the development of the child's legs, on the contrary, through leggings and other ways to make strong corrections, it is possible to make the child develop problems. Because your child's bones are soft and in a period of rapid development, a slight carelessness may lead to misalignment of your child's bones and leg deformities.
In Europe and the United States, there is no such thing as leggings. The child's leg shape develops naturally and is not disturbed, and leg deformities due to leggings are completely absent.
l Abuse encourages the growth of seedlings, too early to let the baby learn to walk
Both of my colleagues are highly educated people who have high hopes for the next generation. In terms of the child's physical development, the two sons are also very anxious.
Soon after the child learned to crawl, the parents took the child's hand and practiced walking. The intervention of parents does allow children to lead their peers in the development of large movements, but the children's legs have also been slightly deformed, and there are signs of "circle legs".
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, they quickly took the child to the hospital for examination. The answer was that because children under the age of one year had soft bones, walking caused greater pressure on their bones and muscles, and the normal development of their legs was disturbed.
Doctors said that due to the deformation of the legs due to premature walking, the acquired development process, some children will gradually recover some, but there are still some children who will have a lifelong risk of bone deformation.
On the contrary, in European and American countries, the parenting attitude of the vast majority of parents is more rational. The child's large movement development, parents will not intervene, naturally will not bear the risk of leg deformation due to premature walking.
The feeding method is not correct, and the intake of calcium is insufficient
Picky eating and partial eating seem to be a common disease of children, and some parents have not corrected them in time because they love their children.
My cousin's kids like to drink all kinds of sweet drinks and reject milk. As a result, the child has a problem around the age of three, and the child's originally straight legs are a little curved, and they develop towards the O-shaped legs. Went to the hospital for examination, the result was that the child was due to insufficient intake of calcium on weekdays, and the calcium deficiency was serious, which affected the normal development of bones.
I think this is a feeding mistake that many families have made, because they spoil their children and try to meet their children's preferences in their diet, ignoring the balance of nutritional intake, especially the very important calcium intake in growth.
It should be known that the infant and young children are the high-speed stage of growth, and infants and young children need more calcium than adults. In addition to the food input of three meals a day, it is best to supplement additionally, and milk and eggs on the diet must be guaranteed every day. In addition, children should carry out more outdoor activities, more sun, before the age of 3, it is best to ensure that daily vitamin D3 is taken, promote calcium synthesis, and is conducive to bone development.
On the contrary, although the tricks of diet and cooking in Europe and the United States are not as much as in China, they still pay more attention to infant nutrition. Even in supermarket packaging for infants and toddlers, various nutritional components are listed in detail.
And European and American children also have the habit of drinking milk every day, nutritional intake is balanced, their calcium deficiency is relatively small, so the legs are rarely due to calcium deficiency and bone deformation.
In fact, in general, it is not an innate advantage, but the influence of acquired living habits and parenting styles. I hope that in the process of parenting, all parents can take it as a warning, take advantage of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, observe the development of children's legs on weekdays, and once they find abnormal conditions, they will be examined as soon as possible, find the root cause of the problem, correct the symptoms, and let each child have "full leg shape points".
