Myth 1: Children’s height is determined by genetics Genetics is a double-edged sword; children with short parents can grow tall; children with tall parents can also grow short. Experts point out that genetics only accounts for 23% of the factors that affect a child’s height, and that through later intervention, girls can grow an additional 14-20 cm and boys can grow 6-24 cm. Misconception two: the size is not long is not the time Many parents think that children do not grow, is not the time, think that first let the child grow naturally, until the child does not grow and then think of ways! But parents don’t know: when children don’t grow naturally, their epiphyses often begin to close and their height potential is already constrained. The chances of further treatment are already very slim! Myth 3: Short is not a disease, does not affect the health of the treatment of dwarfism, affect it has many factors, mainly by nutritional imbalance, sleep deprivation, genetic factors. If the annual growth of children’s height is less than 5 cm, parents should pay attention to it and go to the regular hospital for examination and consultation in time. Myth 4: Blindly listen to the propaganda of height-enhancing products The variety of height-enhancing drugs and growth-boosting foods on the market contain many sex hormones, which can shorten the growth time and height of the child while “boosting” the child’s short-term growth, and also make the bone age develop and epiphysis close early.
