Parents pay special attention to the height of their children, especially boys, as the saying goes: "a high cover a hundred ugly", tall and tall children, in terms of image, sports, mate selection, employment have a great advantage.
Do you know? If you want your child's height, you also need to "manage"
For the problem of children's height, many parents are "natural" attitude, after all, the height of this thing is "seven points destined, three points by hard work", the parents' genes have been doomed to most of the 70%, the remaining 30%, if the child's height is not satisfactory, then go to play growth hormone.
But in fact, managing your child's height is much more than that. Height management is to use multiple methods in a planned and purposeful way to fully explore the potential of children's height growth and make children grow to the maximum height.
However, in life, many parents do not attach importance to the height management of their children, resulting in many children with insufficient height development.
According to the "Survey Report on the Current Situation of China's Child Height Management", 54.2% of children in China are not up to standard in height, and more than 90% of these children who are not up to standard will have obvious inferiority tendencies.
Like being bullied, being ridiculed, being bullied, etc. In addition, when children go out of the campus to find a job, they will also drag their feet because of their height, their profession is limited, their career choice is limited, and they will be pointed out by others when choosing a mate, which are the impacts of unsatisfactory height on children.
In life, these few things are easy to have a negative impact on the height of the child
Missed critical periods of growth
More than 70% of a child's height is genetically affected by the parents' genes, so many people feel that height is uncontrollable. But in fact, there is a chance that the child's height will break through the genetic limit, and there is still a chance to grow another 5-10 cm.
Those who think that they are short, they believe that their children are not tall, or because they are tall, they think that their children's height will not be bad, are because of the wrong concept, resulting in children missing the critical period of growing tall, and ultimately affecting the height of children.
Parents "push too hard"
In the process of child growth and development, parents are riveted and want to be good to their children, but many times they accidentally "use too much force". Eating too well and making up for the head, resulting in the early closure of the bone line and the end of the growth and development cycle early.
There are also some irregular eating habits, resulting in excessive weight gain of children, dragging down the speed of growing tall, irregular work and rest time, affecting the secretion of growth hormone, and like some unsuitable exercise, it will also accidentally injure the child's body and miss the golden period of growth.
Inappropriate daily habits
Habits of daily living can also lead to short stature, especially some poor postures. Poor posture includes postural problems such as scoliosis, hunchback, round shoulders, and forward tilt of the neck. These posture problems can directly affect the height visually less than 3 centimeters.
Turn on height management, parents pay more attention to these aspects, let children grow a few centimeters is not a dream
Giving children height management as early as possible can allow children to give full play to the potential of height growth and achieve their ideal height. In general, height management interventions are in the following areas:
Regularly monitor height:
For the management of children's height, it is "sooner rather than later". It is necessary to develop a good habit of regularly monitoring height from the beginning, usually during the peak period of the child's height growth: before the age of three and in adolescence, the height is measured once a month.
Only by accurately understanding the changing trend of the child's height can the child's current height be managed in a targeted manner.
A balanced and nutritious diet is guaranteed:
Children's height development is inseparable from nutrition, so usually dietary ingredients should have calcium, protein and other elements, what parents have to do is to ensure the rationality of the diet and help children achieve balanced intake of nutrition.
Stick to effective exercise:
Exercise is very helpful for children's height development, but we must pay attention to the continuity of exercise, that is to say, we cannot exercise "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets", and we must carry out an hour every day.
However, too intense exercise is not conducive to children growing tall, especially like high-intensity, long-term behavior, running marathons, etc., parents should pay attention to avoid.
Get enough sleep:
Sleep time required by children at different stages:
Children 1-2 years of age should sleep 11-14 hours/day; children 3-5 years of age should sleep 10-13 hours/day; children 6-12 years of age should sleep 9-12 hours/day; children aged 13-18 years should sleep 8-10 hours/day;
This is because growth hormone, which promotes your child's height growth, is secreted only during deep sleep and peaks in the early hours of the morning of each day. Therefore, let the child go to bed early and sleep more to help the child grow taller.
Tuanzi Mama wants to say:
Parents should carry out scientific management and intervention of their children's height as soon as possible, parents are the most reliable height managers on the road to children's growth, and hope that every parent can tap the growth potential of their children through scientific methods.
