Short stature in children affects all aspects of the child’s life, and parents nowadays always pay attention to their children’s height. However, because many parents have misconceptions about the causes and treatments for their children’s short stature, the best treatment period is often delayed. Some clinical experiences show that many parents are troubled by their children’s height problems and are trying to find effective ways to help their children “get taller”. The determination of dwarfism is based on two criteria: first, the absolute value. The height is more than two standard deviations below the mean for the same age, sex, and race, or below the third percentile (bottom three out of 100 children) for the same age, sex, and race. Second, look at the growth rate. In general, children under 2 years of age have a growth rate of less than 7 cm per year, 4.5 years old to the beginning of puberty have a growth rate of less than 5 cm/year, and puberty has a growth rate of less than 6 cm/year, which indicates a growth disorder and should be promptly investigated for the cause. The prime time to treat dwarfism is from the age of 3 to 12. Failure to detect and treat dwarfism in a timely manner is likely to cause physical and psychological harm to the child. Early treatment can maximize the patient’s adult height. Therefore, children who often do not reach the height standard during the child care period should be followed up in the pediatric endocrinology department, and parents should not take their time with a “wait and see” mentality. What are the factors that affect children’s height? What can parents do to help their children prevent dwarfism in daily life? The growth characteristics and potential of children are influenced by their parents’ race, stature, and external signs, and hereditary diseases may also affect growth and development. In addition, height is closely related to nutrition, metabolism, neurology, and endocrinology. Although heredity has an effect on height, it does not mean that children with short parents must not grow taller. Children can consciously, moderately, scientifically exercise, nutritionally reasonable, so that the child’s growth always maintain the best state, height can be improved. Parents should consciously allow their children to participate in more basketball, jump rope, jump up and touch high “vertical activities”, so as to stimulate the development of bones, so as to play a role in weight loss and height increase.
