“Why is my child short and not tall?” “Should a few months old baby go swimming?” “What diseases need the most attention in summer and autumn?”
Mr. Xiang: My child is 9.5 years old, and his height is only 1.28 meters now. How can I make him grow taller?
Doctor: The height standard for a 9.5-year-old child should be 1.24m to 1.25m or more. Your child is above this standard and has not reached the level of dwarfism. Parents’ height affects their children’s height, but it is not absolute, because acquired nutritional status and personal growth environment factors also have an impact on height. The peak of growth hormone secretion occurs when the child sleeps, after 10 pm, and lasts for a longer period of time. If you want your child to grow, you must go to bed before 10:00 p.m.
During the growth period, you can create favorable conditions for your child to grow taller by providing proper nutrition, improving sleep quality, and strengthening exercise. If you find that your child’s growth is retarded or too much lower than his or her peers, take him or her to the hospital for examination and evaluation to find out what the problem is, early diagnosis and early treatment.
Ms. Yang: My child is now 4 months old, many people are leading their children to swim in the baby swimming pool, I also want to take him to go, will this have any bad effect on the child?
Doctor: It is not recommended to take such a young child to swim. Children swim with a neck swimming ring, which can cause damage to the neck. In addition, if the child accidentally rubs the skin, he or she may be infected with various diseases. At the very least, you should wait until the child is half a year old before taking him or her to the pool.
Doctor: My child has been having diarrhea lately, what is the best food for children in summer?
Doctor: The child itself is immature in all tissues and organs, such as the digestive system and sweat glands. Food should be as light as possible, less greasy, and ensure high quality protein intake, such as breast milk, dairy products, fish, lean meat, soy products and eggs. There are many kinds of vegetables in summer, and children should be given a variety of fresh vegetables to choose and eat with them.
There are also more fruits in summer, which should be supplemented in moderation in the morning and in the afternoon with extra meals, but pay attention to try not to eat anti-seasonal fruits and pay attention to the matching of grains and beans in food preparation.
Parents often quarrel also affects the growth of children.
The doctor said that it is very common for children to grow taller, and parents should not be anxious after this phenomenon, nor should they blindly buy health care products for their children, but they should go to the hospital first to check and determine the reasons why their children are not growing taller before taking measures. Parents need to keep in mind several elements to make their children grow taller.
1, can not picky food. There are two peak periods in the human growth process: one is infancy and the other is adolescence. To give children more food rich in all kinds of nutrients, such as bean products, eggs, fish and shrimp, milk, lean meat and other foods, rich in vitamin C and A and calcium vegetables, fruits and so on.
2., choose more sports that are good for growth. Such as swimming, dancing, badminton, table tennis, bar, etc.. But lifting weights, lifting dumbbells, tensioners, wrestling, long distance running, etc., is not good for height growth.
3, keep a happy mood. The important growth hormone that affects a child’s growth is secreted more during sleep and exercise and less during depression. If the child is often criticized, blamed, in the environment of parental quarrels, depressed mood, depressed mood, that will seriously affect the child growth.
