Measure this part and you will know how tall your child can grow! The parents who found out 1 meter 8 were happy and broken

In terms of appearance, people pay the most attention to, in addition to the facial features, is height!

Nowadays, not only do many jobs have hard rules on height, but even people choose a mate, and they clearly mark the height requirements!

It is no wonder that many parents are always secretly worried about the height of their children:

"I feel like my child hasn't grown for a long time, will this affect my height later?"

"My father and I are not short, but the child is not tall, is it not late?"

……

Similar problems, bacteria can receive a basket every day!

Can the child still grow? How tall can it grow in the future? On the issue of children's height, the bacteria today, once all clear!

1

The child is not tall later

Just look at these 2 parts!

There are many folk methods to predict the height of children, such as "feet and feet grow tall", "fingers grow tall" and so on...

In fact, none of this is reliable.

The only things that can really judge whether a child will be tall in the future are these 2 parts: leg length and arm span.

◆ The longer the child's legs, the taller he or she is

Looking back at your side, are most tall people with big legs?

In fact, the bones that determine the height of a person are also the femur (thigh) and tibia (calf) of the lower limbs.

Therefore, if the child has a pair of large long legs from an early age, the future height will definitely not be low.

◆ The longer the child's arm span, the taller he or she is

The ulna (forearm) and humerus (upper arm), together with the femur (thigh) and tibia (calf), belong to the "long bone".

The growth potential and growth rate of these bones are very fast, and the growth tends to be synchronized.

Therefore, if the child's arm span is long enough, it means that the legs are not short, and the future height will not be low.

Whether the child's future is high or low, look at these 2 parts is basically able to judge.

But 180cm is tall, 190cm is also tall, 140cm is short, and 150cm is also short! Are there any formulas that can roughly predict a value?

You don't have to say, there really is.

The genetic formula for Asian height released by the World Health Organization is as follows:

Girl: (Dad Height + Mom Height - 13cm) ÷2 ± 7.5cm

Boys: (Dad height + Mom height + 13cm) ÷2 ± 7.5cm

Genetics account for a large determinant of a child's future height, so this value is estimated based on the height of the parents.

However, the acquired environment, such as diet, exercise, etc., also has a certain impact, so add/subtract 7.5cm.

For example: Dad Dameng in the decimal point is 180 cm tall and Mom Tao Zi is 165 cm tall, so the genetic height of the decimal point is (180 + 165 + 13)/2 = 179.

If the acquired development is good, the decimal point can also add 7.5cm, which is 186.5cm; if the acquired development is not good, it is necessary to subtract 7.5cm, which is 171.5cm.

Parents who want to know how tall their children can grow in the future, hurry up and do the math!

The child predicts the height of the body

Do these 3 points well, and you can still sneak in the future

After calculating the value, the bacteria knew that some parents were discouraged.

Why? Because he is not tall, his father is not tall.

But in fact, there is no need to be too discouraged, if you want your child to break through the genetic height, there are still ways!

◆ Seize the golden period of long and high

A person has two rapid growth periods of height in their lifetime.

One infant (0 to 1 year).

In the first year of life, healthy children grow the fastest in length, growing an average of 2 cm taller per month.

After that, the growth rate slowed down slightly, and after the age of 2 years, the growth rate slowed down significantly.

The other is puberty.

However, there is a difference between men and women, with girls usually aged 9 to 11 and boys usually aged 11 to 13 years.

Throughout puberty, children can generally increase their height by 20-30 cm, after which the height basically stops growing.

Therefore, if you want your child to sneak around, parents must seize the time before the end of their child's puberty, especially 0 to 1 year old and adolescence.

◆ Nutritional balance

Infancy, the body grows very quickly and requires a large number of nutrients to meet the needs of the child's growth.

Breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months and can be sustained up to 2 years;

After 6 months, the addition of complementary foods began, the first time to add recommended high-speed rail rice noodles, the addition of complementary foods should follow the principle of step-by-step from less to more, from thin to thick, from one to more.

Due to the rapid development of bones in adolescence, calcium requirements reach 100 mg/day, and adequate intake of dairy products is required.

◆ Get enough sleep

If you want your child to grow tall, growth hormone must not be secreted too little.

However, the secretion of growth hormone is very small during the day, and the peak of secretion will occur in the state of deep sleep at night, so it is very important to ensure that the child sleeps enough.

Children of different ages have a corresponding "recommended sleep duration", and parents should try to ensure that their children sleep enough:

◆ Exercise

Proper exercise can not only promote the secretion of growth hormone, but also balance the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus throughout the body and accelerate the deposition of minerals in the bone.

Therefore, allowing children to do more exercise is very good for growing tall!

Babies 0 to 3 months old can train to look up, babies from 3 to 5 months can practice turning over, and babies from 5 to 8 months can exercise crawling;

Babies aged 2 to 3 can do crawling, brisk walking, shooting balls, etc., to improve motor coordination;

Older babies can choose outdoor sports such as running and jumping, jumping rope, basketball, badminton and so on.

These conditions occur when the child is older

Go to the hospital as soon as possible

Compared with the nervousness of most parents, there is also a category of parents who are more Buddhist:

Children shorter than their peers? This is "late long"! Wait and go!

But most children waited for them – never to grow up to their peers again.

In fact, there are indeed some children who have the phenomenon of "late growth", but whether their children are "late growing" needs to be judged by the doctor, rather than the parents themselves.

If a parent finds:

● Children grow less than 5 cm tall per year;

● Sit in the first row of the class for a long time;

● Significantly shorter than children of the same age or even younger;

● Do not buy large clothes and shoes and socks for a long time.

It is necessary to be vigilant about whether the child may have "short stature".

Early detection and early intervention, especially before the end of the golden period of the child's growth, the child's height can still be saved.

Of course, it is not a good thing for a child to grow too slowly, and it is not a good thing to grow too fast.

If when the child has precocious puberty, the sex hormone is secreted in large quantities in advance, and the growth hormone is also accompanied by a large amount of secretion, and the child's height will accelerate in the short term.

The child's normal growth trend, parents can refer to the following table:

Standard height (length) for boys under 7 years old (cm)

Standard height (length) for girls under 7 years of age (cm)

As long as the child's height is between -2SD and +2SD, it is normal.

If it is less than -2SD, it means that the child grows too slowly, which may be short stature; if it is greater than +2SD, it means that the child grows a little faster.

As a parent, everyone wants their children to be tall.

However, when dealing with the height of children, the bacteria do not recommend that parents be overly nervous, but they cannot be overly Buddhist.

Early detection of physical abnormalities, let the child eat well, sleep well, exercise well, is the king of him to grow tall!
