The height of children has always been a concern for parents, especially the height of boys. There is a category of parents who think from a genetic point of view, thinking that both parents are tall, and the child must not be short. Like my house.
My dad was 185, my mom was 174, and my sister and I were both around 170, so we were always confident about my brother's height, and we never looked closely, thinking that he would definitely rise above 185. Even when my brother was only 124cm in the second grade, we always thought that my brother was late.
Today, my brother is in the fifth grade, but his height is only 142cm, which directly attracted the attention of our whole family, which is simply a wake-up call for us, especially a sixth-grade female classmate in my father's class is already as tall as my father, so our family began to pay attention to my brother's height.
In fact, we all know why my brother grows slowly, because my brother never eats well. It is said that the eldest takes care of the book, the second takes care of the pig, the parents have been very strict with me and my sister since childhood, it is strictly forbidden to contact any non-healthy food, perhaps the mother is too old to supervise, the younger brother is addicted to junk food.
Because the flavor of junk food is rich, the younger brother does not like to eat home-cooked meals, which over time causes malnutrition, and the mother is busy with her own affairs and cannot watch her brother not eat junk food between meals all the time, so every time he eats, his brother is sitting there pretending to sit there but not moving chopsticks.
In view of my brother's growth, my mother specifically asked a friend who was a doctor, and the doctor said that the child's growth is not always uniform, but there are three golden key periods.
The first golden key period is 0-4 years old, at this age, the child's length will grow rapidly, and the fast-growing child can reach 25cm in one year, which is simply one look a day.
The second golden key period is 7-9 years old, although this period is the golden period of growth, but compared with the first golden period is simply pitiful, this stage of growth is relatively slow, the average annual growth will only grow 5-7cm.
The third golden key period is of course puberty, this stage of children are crazy about height, especially boys, this is also the last chance for children to grow taller, generally only last two years, but during these two years, the average annual increase of 7-12cm, is also quite a considerable number.
I have a big feeling about this, I have a junior high school table, when we were in junior high school, short and fat, and I am generally tall, and then we were admitted to a key high school, daily can not see, who knows a holiday, he channeled 14cm, born from a short and fat little cute channeled into a 184cm male god, if not seen with their own eyes, who dares to believe that there will be such a big change?
The younger brother is now nine years old, is in the tail of the second golden critical period, must be parents to help to work harder, the child can work harder to grow, and when the 18-year-old body is stereotyped, it will no longer grow tall.
I want the height of the baby to sneak a little more, insist on these 3 things
1. Ensure your child's sleep
Human growth depends on growth hormone, and growth hormone is not secreted or secreted less daily, only in the dormant state will the amount of secretion doubled, the peak period of secretion is 23:00-3:00.
2. Ensure your child's movement
It can be seen that exercise promotes the secretion of human growth hormone, which in turn promotes physical development, so ensuring that the child's exercise can also improve the child's height
3. Make sure your child's diet is safe
At the same time, diet is of course the primary way for children to consume nutrients and energy, not only the amount of diet, but more importantly, the structure of diet.
In the face of the height of the child, the mothers must be careful, do not miss the golden critical period, use the scientific way to accompany the child, maybe they can grow a few centimeters taller.
