Some people say that children are the continuation of their parents' lives, they come to this world with their parents' expectations, and they are destined to carry the weight forward, this so-called "hope for a son to become a dragon, hope for a daughter to become a phoenix".
Parents who have high expectations for their children are often prone to anxiety. I am afraid that the child will accidentally "lose" at the starting line, and I am even more afraid that due to my own negligence, I will be complained by the child in the future. Therefore, they are eager to let their own children catch up with "other people's children", and over time, there is a phenomenon of "seedlings to help".
Want to make children grow taller, is the hope of every parent, especially for parents who are already short, they know the importance of height, so they try to help their children grow taller, and even some parents have the idea of "broken bones to increase height", as everyone knows, such a risky method has a very high rate of disability, and if you are not careful, you may be disabled for life.
There are so many ways to promote growth, but not all methods are correct, once the wrong method is used, not only can not achieve the purpose of growing taller, but also may be counterproductive, delaying the normal development of the child!
Therefore, in daily life, parents should make good use of scientific height management methods, and pay attention to avoid the following common behaviors of "seedlings and growth".
1) Excessive dietary supplementation
Everyone knows that children need nutrition to grow taller. Therefore, many parents will work the diet, thinking that as long as they give their children more food, eating well can promote growth. So for three days, the two heads changed the method to stew chicken soup, bone soup, and ten complete soup for the child, and fed it continuously.
As everyone knows, excessive dietary supplementation will directly lead to overnutrition, induced precocious puberty, advanced bone age development, and early closure of the epiphyseal line, thus affecting the final height of the child in adulthood.
In addition, after overnutrition, excess nutrients will be converted into fat, which greatly increases the risk of obesity diseases in children, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The correct growth and height supplement should pay attention to small portions, more types, and balanced nutrition, so as to promote the healthy and stable growth and development of children.
2) Excessive exercise
Exercise has a stress-stimulating effect on bone development and can promote bone growth. It also promotes the secretion of growth hormone needed for height growth.
Because the child's body is in the stage of growth and development, the bones, muscles and nervous system at this stage are relatively fragile, and overload exercise not only easily leads to muscle strain, bone damage and other conditions, but also affects the quality of the child's sleep.
Therefore, exercise needs to pay attention to form and time, otherwise it will not only not achieve the effect of growing taller, but also lead to joint damage.
Parents can choose the appropriate exercise according to the child's preference for exercise methods, family conditions, exercise tolerance, and children's usual sleep habits. By constantly trying, find exercises that are suitable for your child and promote sleep.
Like cycling, playing basketball, kicking shuttles, skipping rope, swimming, gymnastics, etc., are all sports that can promote taller growth.
Conversely, high-intensity sports such as marathons, weightlifting, throwing and other high-intensity sports that exceed the child's tolerance are not conducive to height promotion and will also cause certain damage to the child's health.
3) Blind medication
What grows tall is most afraid of blind medication. In the absence of scientific evidence, blind medication not only has little effect, but may even increase the burden of digestion by the body, and in severe cases, damage the liver and kidney organs.
The other is the abuse of growth hormone. As a prescription drug, growth hormone can treat short stature caused by too little growth hormone secretion in children, but children's short stature is not necessarily caused by growth hormone secretion problems, if not caused by growth hormone, but also use growth hormone therapy, not only can not help children grow taller, but also lead to endocrine disorders.
When the child's height is not ideal, the first thing to do is to investigate the cause to see whether environmental factors limit growing taller or disease factors hinder growing taller, which is very important. The reason for this, and then solve the symptomatic, cannot put the cart before the horse.
4) Apply pressure
Some parents once they find that their children's height is lower than children of the same age and begin to be nervous, urging their children to exercise more, eat more, and go to bed early every day, although the starting point is good, but this will bring mental pressure to the child and affect normal growth and development.
For example, the child's genetic height is only 170 cm, while the goal given by parents is 185 cm, the gap between ideal and reality is greater than 10 cm, and the intervention is extremely difficult. Especially for some children in late adolescence, it is even more difficult.
The difficulty of height promotion is for parents, and the difficulty means that parents need to pay more and invest more. Therefore, when expectations are too high, it is recommended that parents reduce expectations appropriately. Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest!
There is nothing wrong with valuing the growth of the child, the key lies in the approach and attitude adopted. Influenced by high expectations and controlled by a sense of urgency, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of parenting, which is counterproductive. Always remember: everything has a degree, too much.
In short, each child has their own unique growth routine, fast or slow. As long as it is within the normal range, parents do not need to be too anxious. In the process of raising children, every parent must learn to be relaxed and calm, and treat the growth of their children calmly. Give soil, fertilize, give sunshine and rain, and all that's left is to wait for the flowers to bloom.
