Myth #1: My child is still young, it won’t grow now, it will always grow later!
In fact, this waiting mentality of parents is wrong. If you do not go to a professional testing institution in time, your child may stop growing and wait until the epiphysis closes, and your child will never grow taller.
Myth 2: I and his father are not short, the child’s height must be fine!
Although heredity is an important factor affecting height, it only accounts for about 70%. When you find that your child stops growing or grows slowly, parents must pay great attention to it and not neglect it and affect your child’s height.
Misconception 3: Children should eat all the food, but still can not grow tall, I can not help!
Many parents try to find ways to think that the nutritional value of food to the child’s mouth “stuffed”, the results of the child not only did not grow taller, but became a “small fat pier”, and even lead to precocious puberty, hindering the growth of children.
Misconception four: we are so short, the child will certainly not grow taller.
Some parents are not ideal for their own height, so they think that their children are born short, even if they have the opportunity to grow taller, they do not help their children to fight.
Myth #5: Children don’t grow because they don’t eat, as long as they enhance nutrition and improve their appetite.
The growth of children is stage-specific, and the key factors that dominate the growth of each stage are different; 0-3 years old is mainly nutrition; after 3 years old, the growth mainly depends on the endocrine hormones secreted by the body. Take your child to the pediatric department of a regular hospital or a specialized hospital for consultation as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity for your child to grow taller.
