Children's and adolescents' height assessment form

1. There is no significant change in height within 1~2 years
If you want to know if you have stopped growing taller, the easiest way is to measure your height. If the height has not changed significantly or has not changed much in 1~2 years, it means that there are signs of stopping growing taller.
Height information is measured and analyzed regularly, and when the rate of height growth is flat, it means that the growth will stop growing taller soon.
2. Observe the changes in your child's body
To know whether the child has stopped growing taller, in addition to measuring height, you can also observe the changes in the child's body, mainly including the following aspects:
For example, when it is found that the muscles on the child's calves are getting stronger and stronger, and the curvature is getting bigger and bigger, it means that the child is about to stop growing taller, and the body begins to gain weight, and the meat on the stomach, arms, and thighs is increasing, which also proves that the child is about to stop growing taller.
3. Appearance of features of late adolescence
Adolescence is the golden age of height growth. Due to the catalytic reaction of growth hormone and sex hormones, girls can grow an average of 25 cm and boys can grow an average of 30 cm.
When the secondary sex characteristics of boys and girls are fully developed, the facial features are basically stable, growth hormone and sex hormones are no longer catalyzed, and height will gradually stop developing.
If you find that the height difference between the child and the same age is too large, it is suspected that the child's height is abnormal!
If the child's body already has the above three manifestations, then the child's growth space is very small. And if you want your child to grow taller, you have to take advantage of these three performances to help your child grow taller scientifically and planned!
So how should parents help their children grow taller?
1. Ensure adequate nutrition
If you want to ensure that your child grows tall and healthy, you must ensure that your child has enough nutrition to help and support. The cause of many children's stunting is mainly due to bad eating habits in part, resulting in nutritional imbalance.
Parents should work more on their children's diet to help their children overcome the bad habit of partial eating, eat a balanced diet, and mix meat and vegetables!
2. Get enough sleep
Sleep is also another important factor affecting a child's height. Especially in early childhood, after the child enters deep sleep, the growth hormone secretion in the body is strong, so adequate sleep is conducive to the child's growth.
Therefore, parents should urge their children to go to bed early and not stay up late to ensure adequate sleep to secrete more auxin and promote height development.
3. Ensure proper exercise
Exercise is also key to helping children grow taller. Even if height is affected by innate genetic inheritance, it can be effectively reversed by acquired exercise.
In daily life, parents should encourage their children to go out to exercise, often let their children participate in some sports, such as playing basketball, running, skipping rope, etc., which can promote children's bone development and help children grow taller.
There is only one critical period for height growth. In order to avoid children not growing tall, parents should assume the primary responsibility for children's growth and provide children with the best space for assisted growth from the above three aspects.
