If your child has these kinds of situations, you should immediately go to a professional institution for consultation and testing, otherwise delay the child’s life! 8 to 10 years old height is significantly lower than peers; 11 to 14 years old puberty growth is not obvious; 15 to 17 years old appears slow growth or stop growing; other, epiphyseal cartilage is close to closure. Early growth of children how to stop growing 13-year-old girl almost 150 cm, but half a year did not grow a centimeter, this phenomenon than the same age to grow faster, stop also fast now gradually increased. In the clinic, we met Mengmeng, she is 13 years old, the first two years of growth is very fast, the height of 1.48 meters, in the class is considered high, but this half year has not grown at all, the height has been stuck at 1.48 meters. Her father, who is 1.80 meters tall, and her mother, who is 1.65 meters tall, felt that there might be something wrong with their baby girl, and only after examination did they realize that the child’s epiphysis had completely closed, meaning that her bones had stopped developing and there was little hope for her to grow taller. Mengmeng got her period when she was less than 11 years old. They never took these clues seriously. At this time, Mengmeng’s parents were very remorseful, it turned out that Mengmeng’s mother’s health was not good and she often took supplements, so they loved their children and often made them more “supplements” together, not knowing that it was these supplements that promoted the children’s precocious maturity, resulting in their bone age and epiphysis closure, and the blind supplements did not give the children a positive The blind supplementation does not give the child the right “make up”, and even accelerates the process of precocious puberty. In fact, in this case, Xie Xuan, director of the endocrine pubertal development short stature clinic at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University, said that the symptom can be found by taking a bone age film. The director analyzed Mengmeng’s condition, and he believes that the girl got her period at the age of 11, more than two years earlier than normal children. Early puberty is the main reason for her short stature. Living environment and way of life affect children’s height Director Xie pointed out that the survey showed that in recent years, the problem of early puberty has become increasingly prominent due to changes in living environment and lifestyle, and has become one of the important factors affecting children’s final height. At present, this situation is very common in Tingting, which should attract the attention of parents and the whole society. In addition, the following three misconceptions will also lead to children growing at least 10 cm less. Myth 1: If the parents are tall, the child must be tall: Although height and heredity are closely related, heredity gives only a range of height, with a deviation of 8 cm above and below. If the child’s height is close to the upper limit of heredity, the child’s height is more ideal; if close to the lower limit of heredity, the child’s height is short. Myth #2: Boys don’t change their voices; girls don’t get their periods, so they’re not considered to be developing, so there’s no rush: changing voices and menstruation are features that mark a child’s entry into the post-pubertal stage of development. At this stage, the child’s skeletal growth area (epiphysis) has begun to close, and height begins to enter the countdown to stop growing. Myth #3: When you reach a certain age and don’t grow, then take measures: Many parents think that they should let their children grow naturally first, and although they are short, they should wait until their children don’t grow on their own and then think about it! However, parents do not know: when the child’s natural growth is slow, the epiphysis also begins to close, height potential is restricted, and then adjust the hope is very slim. Director Xie stressed that parents should understand the significance of growing 10 centimeters more, assuming that the genetically determined height is 1.52 meters for girls and 1.65 meters for boys, and that the stature is shorter in adulthood. If you grow 10 cm more through expert guidance, then the girl is 1.62, the boy is 1.75, the height is more ideal, so that 10 cm more growth is decisive. Therefore, for children with short stature, if they can grow 10 centimeters more, they can change the fate of short people!
