To be concerned about your child’s height is to be concerned about your child’s future. With the development and progress of society, a child’s height is directly related to future employment, marriage, health, etc. A tall body is the goal that many people pursue. Many parents observe their children’s height against the height standard to see if it is normal. If the height exceeds the average standard (P50), they feel happy heart, and if it is below the average standard, they are worried. Children with short stature often have low self-esteem as a result, which affects physical and mental health, learning and personality development. According to the survey, among the causes of psychological disorders in university and high school students, short stature occupies a high proportion. In the consultation, children who come to the clinic in late adolescence have a strong desire to grow taller! However, because of their advanced bone age, there is already very limited room for growing taller. So parents are concerned about their children’s height at the same time, pay attention to what factors can make children grow taller. We know that parental genetics has a 0.75 impact on the child’s height, so the remaining 0.25 depends on the growth of the environmental impact. 1, adequate and balanced nutrition is the material basis for children’s growth and development Supervise children to eat a good balanced diet every day to ensure adequate intake of protein, carbohydrates and vitamins, especially the appropriate supplementation of animal protein, in order to achieve the best protein bioavailability. Lack of protein will directly affect height growth, and some important trace elements such as zinc, iron and B vitamins are abundant in animal foods, and lack of these nutrients will also easily cause children to be short. Calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D, as an important material basis for bones, have a self-evident impact on height. Therefore, make sure to drink 250-500 ml of pure milk; 1 egg; an appropriate amount of various meats, grains and other cereals and fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Eat less or do not eat snacks, greasy residue food, cola, anti-seasonal fruits and vegetables. Do not give children to eat artificially fed eels, turtle, etc., and do not give children to eat a variety of health food, supplements! 2, adhere to the physical exercise exercise to stimulate growth hormone secretion. Children and adolescents often engage in sports, can promote the growth of bone, so that the bones become longer, thicker transverse diameter, higher bone density, bone weight increase. Exercise can also consume excess fat, in the rapid growth period can prevent obesity, store into the height development. Proper exercise is one of the most positive, effective and economical means of promoting height. Children and adolescents often engage in aerobic exercise, which can help stretch the bones of the limbs and spine, and can promote and stimulate the growth ability of bone cells and make the bone grow linearly. So effective and appropriate exercise can help adolescents grow taller. What are the exercises that help children to grow taller? Medically speaking, it is necessary to do effective exercise or aerobic exercise : in 10~15 minutes for a short period of time to achieve a flushed face, sweating, accelerated heartbeat, the pituitary gland secretion of growth hormone has a catalytic effect, there is a role in promoting children’s height increase . Bouncing exercises include jumping rope, high jump, long jump and running, which help to move the limbs. Stretching exercises include single-bar pull-ups, sit-ups, back-and-forth bending, gymnastics and various suspension exercises, which help stretch the spine and limb bones. Whole-body exercises such as basketball, volleyball, badminton swimming, etc. help to stretch and lengthen the bones of the whole body. Now recommended especially conducive to the growth of sports: one is jump rope , simple and convenient, can promote the growth of children’s lower limb bones role. The second is shuttlecock, a playful sport, suitable for parents and children to participate together. 3, ensure sufficient sleep The secretion of growth hormone is pulsed secretion. The frequency of secretion is once every 3~4 hours. The peak is one hour after deep sleep, and the amount of secretion is more than half of the total amount for one day, and the total amount of secretion at night is about three times of that during the day. Therefore, the best time to sleep is between 9 and 10 pm, which is in line with the physiological secretion characteristics of human growth hormone. Therefore, sufficient sleep at night is good for growth. Suppose a child always goes to bed at 11~12 o’clock, even if he sleeps until about 10 o’clock in the morning the next day, the sleep is sufficient, but the peak value of growth hormone secretion appears less at night, so the height is definitely greatly affected. In order for children to achieve the ideal height, develop good sleep habits and ensure sufficient sleep time. In general, the younger the year, the longer the relative sleep required: 14-20 hours for newborns, 14-18 hours for 2-3 month old babies, and 13-16 hours for 5-9 month old babies. At 1~3 years old is 12~14 hours, 4~6 years old is about 11~12 hours, 7~10 years old is an average of 10 hours, 10~14 years old is 9 hours and puberty, the second surge period of children’s growth, sleep time needs to be slightly increased to 9~10 hours adults are generally 7~8 hours, the above sleep time is a reference and can be adjusted according to personal circumstances. 4, happy psychology will make the child grow taller Due to unhappy spirit, can also make children grow slowly short stature. Let children grow up happily, can make children’s psychology, personality to get good growth, so that the height to get the maximum potential growth. Therefore, we should create a relaxed and harmonious environment for our children, so that they can get love and care from all sides of their mind, reduce their stress and anxiety, and make the most of their growth potential. Let the child have a golden childhood, so that the child grows up happily. 5, exclude the influence of some chronic diseases The presence of some diseases can also affect the child’s growth, the degree of impact depends on the location of the lesion, the length of the disease and the severity of the condition. Such as general diseases: colds, pneumonia, intestinal diseases, the degree of impact is very small and reversible, that is, after the disease is cured, can catch up with the normal height of children. Some, such as chromosomal abnormalities, intrauterine growth retardation, endocrine diseases, bone or cartilage development disorders, diabetes, tuberculosis, chronic renal failure, severe congenital heart disease, etc., do affect the height of children to a greater extent and for life. Therefore, if you find that your child is growing slowly, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations to rule out the effects of these related diseases. As mentioned above: a healthy and reasonable diet, sleep and appropriate amount of exercise, physical and mental happiness, and good health are the acquired factors that affect the growth of height. Therefore, parents should create a better environment for their children to grow up healthy and happy while paying attention to their children’s growth.
