"Kaka, your brother is here." Our family Kaka, since childhood, has a good relationship with his second uncle's cousin, and the two often play together. But after school, the two people have less time to play together, and whenever the second uncle comes to visit the door with the child, I will call the child out.
When Kaka heard me call him, she would immediately come out of the back room, and when she saw her cousin coming, the two children went to play together.
However, I didn't pay attention to it before, and now that the two children are standing together, I have found that the height difference between the two children is a little obvious.
You know, although the two people are said to be brothers, but the time difference between birth is not very much, and when they were young, the height of the two people was similar, how now the gap is so big, it looks almost 10 centimeters.
Therefore, I asked the child's second uncle, that is, my second brother: "Xiao Lu (the child's cousin) How did this child grow so tall now? ”
The second brother said: "There is nothing special, maybe it is genetics." ”
Hearing the second brother's words, I was a little unhappy, why? Aren't we both genetically on the same path?
"What genes, we are brothers, how much difference can genes be?" Seeing that the second brother realized something in a trance, he smiled awkwardly and continued, "Maybe your sister-in-law will raise children." ”
As soon as I heard the second brother's words, I felt that raising children had nothing to do with him, so I asked my sister-in-law on the side if there was any secret to raising children.
When my sister-in-law heard my words, she said, "In fact, there is no special way to raise children, but I pay attention to my child's sleep." ”
Hearing that my sister-in-law began to say the main point, I leaned closer to my sister-in-law again and listened attentively.
"First of all, I pay a lot of attention to the time of my child's sleep," says my sister-in-law.
"I also pay attention to my child's sleep time, and I never let my child sleep late." I interjected.
My sister-in-law gave me a blank look, "How can a child be raised like this?" Then he said, "You're doing this wrong. ”
I thought to myself, "What's wrong?" Is it wrong not to sleep late? Then, I felt that my sister-in-law was not talking nonsense.
The sister-in-law continued: "The time control of sleep is not as simple as not sleeping lazily, but to achieve three important aspects, namely, the control of bedtime, the control of wake-up time, and the control of total sleep time. ”
Spring is the "accelerated season" for children to grow taller, master the three "sleep rules", and the child is 6 centimeters longer
◎Control points of sleep time
Among them, the time of sleeping at night is best controlled between 8:30 and 9:30, and the time of getting up in the morning is best not earlier than 7:00, as for the total sleep time at night, it is best to keep it at about 10 hours.
Hearing my sister-in-law's words, I felt a little confused, this view is not the same as the traditional "go to bed early and get up early"? So which is right?
The reason why we want to maintain such a sleep time is because when the child sleeps, the body will secrete auxin, and the first peak period of secretion begins at about 10 pm. Therefore, the child must go to sleep before 10 pm so that the secretion of auxin will not be affected.
When the child goes to bed at night, there are two peak periods of auxin secretion, the first is from 10 pm to about 2 am, and the second is around 5 am to 7 am, so I said that the time to get up in the morning is preferably not earlier than 7 o'clock.
Now, schools in many areas prohibit children from coming to school before 8 o'clock in the morning, in fact, it is also to allow children to sleep well.
Hearing my sister-in-law's explanation, I understood that the child did not "go to bed early and get up early", but to meet the physiological characteristics, so that the child would grow taller.
◎Control points of wake-up time
"What was the state before sleep? What's so important to note about that? Isn't the state before sleep sleep sleep? I thought to myself, but I didn't mean to say it.
Whether the child sleeps well or not has a lot to do with the child's state before sleep. Before going to bed at night, I will not let the child play crazy, make sure that the child is in a state of emotional and physical stability, so that the child will sleep better.
If the child is too active before going to bed, one is not conducive to the child's sleep, and the other is that the child may sleep unsteadily.
Think about it, I really can't sleep every time I'm excited.
"If the child's mood is problematic, I will also tell the child stories and do reassurance, so that the child can keep a good mood and fall asleep, so that the quality of sleep will be better."
I had to learn this, and I felt that if I fell asleep in a bad mood, it would really be a nightmare.
◎Control of total sleep duration
"The last point is the sleeping environment, which I care about."
"The environment? Isn't it just the bedroom, what do you need to pay attention to? "I muttered again in my heart.
"Don't think that the child's bed is soft and the child is comfortable, the child's sleeping environment not only includes the comfort of the bed, but also the sound and light environment of sleep, the temperature and humidity environment and the air quality." Listening to my sister-in-law say this, I deeply feel that my parenting knowledge is lacking, and it is no wonder that my children are not as tall as any children.
In terms of beds, be sure to be soft and intimate, so that children maintain a good touch, so that children will feel comfortable and easy to sleep well.
In terms of sound and light, keep the child's sleeping environment without noise, no bright light, do not give the child to use a night light, because any light will affect the quality of the child's sleep and affect the secretion of the child's auxin.
In terms of temperature and humidity, to keep it moderate, not too hot nor too cold, not too dry and not too wet, you can put a thermohygrometer in your child's room, according to the 'comfortable' range on the temperature and hygrometer.
In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the air quality problems in the house, pay attention to ventilation, and do not close the door and close the door to prevent the air from being turbid.
After listening to my sister-in-law's words, I suddenly opened up, indeed, the details of the sister-in-law said, I really did not pay attention to it before, which led to the difference between the height of the child and the child of others by about 10 centimeters. It seems that I should also pay more attention to my child's sleep, so as not to have problems with my height in the future.
Write at the end
The impact of sleep on your child's height is particularly important, so don't neglect your child's sleep problems like I did. It just so happens that it is spring, and spring is the golden season for children to grow tall, and parents can grasp this stage and help their children grow taller.
