This year's parents, for the sake of their children's height, are really racking their brains to find ways.
Calcium supplementation, drinking bone broth, doing exercise, eating supplements, playing growth hormone... As long as you can make your child grow taller, you want to try any method.
However, the height development of children has its own rules, forced to disrupt, harmful and unprofitable.
There are many children, just because the parents forcibly intervened, and used the wrong method, the result is not high, but also hurt the body.
@ People's Daily reported a news, in order to make her daughter grow taller, thinner, and more beautiful, she forced her daughter to jump rope every day, and as a result, she was sent to the hospital.
Yuanyuan, 13 years old, is 1 meter 58 tall and weighs nearly 120 pounds.
In order to seize the last opportunity to grow tall, her mother forced Yuanyuan to jump rope 3,000 times a day, and Yuanyuan gritted her teeth every day.
Until one day, Yuanyuan suddenly felt pain in her left knee, and her mother thought that Yuanyuan was lazy at first, and after going to the hospital for examination, she found that her daughter was suffering from epiphysis of tibia nodules.
What is epiphysis of the tibia nodule? This is a sterile inflammatory response that occurs after the epiphyseal has been damaged, resulting from the constant pulling of one's own tendons.
I wanted to make the child grow taller through jumping rope, but I didn't think that it would cause the child to be injured, and this result the mother also regretted.
Doctors remind: jumping rope is not the only trick to grow tall, skipping rope should control the amount, do not pursue the number regardless of the child's body.
For the height of the baby, parents really do not have to be too anxious, take Yuanyuan, 13 years old, 158cm, height is also within the normal range, parents really do not have to worry about this.
To help the baby's height, the method must be right!
"Can a trampoline grow taller?" The 8-year-old girl was almost paralyzed! ”
There are many, many examples of wrong heights, there are wrong exercises, and there are blind demands to play growth hormone.
But the sport's primary concern is safety.
A while ago, the pregnant mother saw a news that an 8-year-old girl in Fujian suddenly fell into a coma while playing with a trampoline, and then immediately sent to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, the girl had already suffered respiratory cardiac arrest, and the doctor said that the child may have been misaligned during the trampoline, and the probability of paralysis of the lower body in the future is very high.
This result, neither children nor parents can bear.
Moreover, growth hormone is not something that can be played casually.
There is a mother in Shanghai who is very anxious, her daughter Xinxin is 9 years old, 145 centimeters tall, she took her daughter to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said that the child has been in the middle of development.
The mother was worried that the child would not grow up after development, so she asked the doctor to give her daughter a large growth hormone, at least to 160 centimeters, and the doctor refused the parents' request.
The rejected mother was not willing, and also asked the doctor: We came to the hospital to get injections, others have been beaten, why can't we fight?
Growth hormone cannot be beaten without a doctor's correct diagnosis.
There was a real case of a 10-year-old who had taken growth hormone without doing a test and had been going on for 3 months.

As a result, parents suddenly noticed that their child's vision had deteriorated and he later became blind.
Finally, the parents took the child to the hospital for examination, and the doctor found that the child's short stature was due to a 2 cm tumor in the area of the hypothalamic pituitary gland, which affected the pituitary gland's secretion of growth hormone.
After using growth hormone, it is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, resulting in the enlargement of the tumor body, compression of the optic nerve, and then affecting the child's vision.
It is understandable that parents want their children to grow tall, but really don't mess around.
To help the baby's height, parents must first see if the baby's height is normal.
Every year in the spring, during the golden growth season, parents are desperately trying their best to grow up for their children.
Yes, the World Health Organization has confirmed that spring (March-May) is the "golden period" of the year, the baby grows tall, and the height growth rate is 2-2.5 times that of autumn.
But when parents try to give their children a height, they must first understand the child's normal height standard and what is abnormal.
The following is a percentile of height and weight of boys and girls aged 0-18 in mainland China, which parents can refer to:
*Height and weight percentile of boys aged 0-18*
*Height and weight percentile of girls aged 0-18*
What do you think of the table?
First, find the child's age in the first column on the left, and then look horizontally at the range of the child's height, the larger the value, the higher the height; the smaller the value, the shorter the child.
As long as the height is between the [3rd percentile] and [97th percentile] values, it means that the height is normal.
Below the 3rd percentile, it means that the person is short.
Above the 97th percentile, it indicates a high stature.
Whether it grows too slowly or too fast, it should be paid attention to by parents, for example:
If a 10-year-old boy is 142 centimeters tall, it means that he is between the 50th percentile and the 75th percentile, which is the normal range.
If a 10-year-old boy is 125 centimeters tall, less than the 3rd percentile (128.7 centimeters), it means that he is growing too slowly.
A 10-year-old boy's height is 155 centimeters, greater than the 97th percentile (152 centimeters), which means that he is growing too fast.
If your child's height is short, take your child to the hospital for further examination in time.
If your child's height grows too quickly, go to the hospital for further diagnosis!
The wrong method of growing tall, must not be used indiscriminately, the pit baby hurts the body!
When it comes to children growing up, there are all kinds of methods, growth hormone, heightening drugs, bone broth.... Wait, today the pregnant mother came to clear the mines for the parents.
Do not abuse growth hormone
Growth hormone is very popular in the growth and high realm, it is a key hormone to promote the growth of children, not only can help the growth and development of bones, muscles and various systems and organs, but also stimulate the growth of osteoarticular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage.
Because it can grow tall, it is favored by parents, and growth hormone is indeed a prescription drug approved by the State Food and Drug Administration.
But there is only one type of growth hormone that children can use: children with growth hormone deficiency (i.e., pituitary dwarfs).
If you refer to the height percentile table above to find your child short, the correct approach is to seek medical examination first, and the doctor will make a comprehensive judgment based on the child's height curve, bone age, growth hormone level and other factors.
If it is a growth hormone deficiency, the doctor will weigh the pros and cons and give the most appropriate advice.
If the child is all right, blindly asking for growth hormone will do more harm than good.
Because growth hormone is used to treat diseases, shortness caused by other causes is not only ineffective, but also may cause the child's body to have undesirable side effects, such as may promote the growth of existing tumors or potential tumors, improper use will also lead to high blood pressure, hypoglycemia and so on.
Don't insist on giving your child growth hormone, whether to fight or not, be sure to follow the doctor's advice!
Don't eat the heightening medicine
Many merchants grasp the anxiety of parents and advertise that what to eat can grow tall, without side effects, and easily grow a few centimeters tall.
So far, there is no medical evidence that the heightening drug has the effect of increasing the height, but it may disrupt the normal growth law of the child.
All kinds of "heightening drugs", supplements, health care products, especially oral liquids that are advertised to grow tall, most of them add hormones, which can easily induce precocious puberty in children, resulting in early closure of the bone scale line, but it is easy for children to grow tall.
Don't pour bone broth
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "complementing the form with shapes", in order to make children grow tall, many parents are boiling up a variety of bone soup, thinking that they can supplement calcium to grow the body.
But bone soup ah, eat sea drink not only can not grow a, but also easy to grow meat, per 100g of bone soup only contains 4mg of calcium, even if you drink a full of water, it can not play what calcium effect, but greasy soup, will increase the child's gastrointestinal burden, appropriate drinking soup can, do not overdose.
Heightening equipment is harmful and unprofitable
There are many stretchers, stretch beds and other "heightening" equipment on the market, but these equipment should not be used indiscriminately.
Because these so-called stretching devices can only temporarily increase the joint space, they will recover immediately after rest, and they do not have much effect on the baby's final height.
And blind pulling, on the contrary, may lead to ligament strain, the correct way to stretch is to relax after exercise, rather than with the help of equipment to force stretching.
Pregnant mother knocked on the blackboard to remind Ha: The above four points, parents must take their children to avoid.
The secret of safety science, parents only need to focus on 5 things!
Parents know that the height of the child, 7 points rely on genetics, 3 points rely on hard work.
Although the genetic proportion is very large, the impact of those 3 points of hard work is also very large.
According to the Asian height prediction formula released by the World Health Organization:
●Male height = (father height + mother height + 13) ÷2 (cm) positive and negative error 7.5 cm.
●Female height = (father height + mother height -13) ÷2 (cm) positive and negative error 7.5 cm.
It can be seen from the formula that in addition to the influence of heredity, if parents correctly help development, children have 8 to 15cm of upward space.
Therefore, if you want to help the baby's height development in the golden growth season, parents can do the following 5 points to help their children grow tall safely:
Exercise correctly
Exercise can indeed help children's height development, studies have shown that children who regularly participate in physical exercise are on average 4 to 8 cm taller than children who do not participate in physical exercise.
Proper exercise can stimulate bones and promote the secretion of growth hormone.
Prioritize the following three exercises to avoid weightlifting.
● Bouncing sports. Jump rope, touch high, jump high, single-legged jump, these exercises can improve the child's coordination, balance and exercise the strength of the lower limbs, and when bouncing, it will also cause pressure on the bones of the lower limbs and promote the growth of cartilage.
●Systemic exercise. Badminton, basketball, running, volleyball and other full-body sports can stimulate bones in all directions.
●Stretching exercises. Swimming, pull-ups, aerobics, leg presses, aerobics and other stretching exercises, the whole body can be stretched and stretched and exercised, can promote the growth and development of bones
In the exercise of this piece of pregnant mothers to remind: all exercise should be moderate, according to the child's situation to do, do not excessive.
Healthy eating
Eating well is very important, and children with long heights have a high demand for nutrients, especially proteins, minerals, trace elements, vitamins and other nutrients necessary for growth and development.
The nutrition in food is the safest and best absorbed, so parents must pay attention to their children's daily diet, to be balanced, to be nutritious.
Cereals, milk, eggs, meat, fish, vegetables and fruits, must be given to children safely.

Sleep sweetly
When people are asleep, they can secrete a large amount of growth hormone, which is 3 times that of waking, and secrete the most vigorously at night.
So if you want your child to grow taller, you must make sure that your child sleeps soundly, but also sleeps well, babies of different ages have different requirements for sleep time, parents can refer to the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
To ensure adequate sleep time, but also to ensure sleep treatment, to give the baby a quiet sleep environment.
Be in a good mood
Studies have found that children who have suffered severe trauma are prone to growth retardation and even stagnation. This is because bad emotions affect the function of the brain and endocrine system, the light affects the development of the body, and the heavy ones lead to various diseases.
Therefore, for the growth and development of the baby, we must love the child more and give the child more love.
5. Pay attention to the growth of high nutrients
Vitamin D promotes the reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines and kidneys, helping to grow bones. Once vitamin D is deficient, it is difficult to grow taller even if growth hormone and calcium are adequate.
Therefore, moderate vitamin D supplementation is an important influencing factor for baby height.
So how to supplement vitamin D?
Exclusively breastfed babies: Breast milk is low in vitamin D and parents should start giving their baby 400 IU of vitamin D a day after a few days of birth.
Pure or mixed-fed babies: Choose a formula fortified with vitamin D, and if the daily milk intake exceeds 1,000 ml, no additional vitamin D supplementation is required.
If formula drinks less than 1000ml per day, vitamin D400 IU/day can also be directly supplemented, which is a safe dose and can effectively prevent vitamin D deficiency rickets in children.
Premature babies, low birth weight babies: vitamin D800 to 1000 IU supplementation every day after birth, changed to 400 IU per day after 3 months.
The last thing to say is that the child's height development is a big thing, but it must not be rushed, and following the child's growth law is the most important!
