The child’s height has a lot to do with the parents’ genetics, but there are also children who grow in height and stop growing. Stopping development is sometimes related to spinal disorders, such as scoliosis, which can affect the child’s height. Children do not recently adolescent growth and development is very fast, some children can quickly grow 10 cm taller in a year, but after that, the growth is very slow. Eat well, sleep well, and often do exercise, but still not much growth, as if to stop the development. Many parents are worried that their children are still young and have not yet passed puberty, so they will not grow any more. Parents can first simply calculate how tall their children can grow, here is a formula: (father’s height + mother’s height +13)/2 = son’s height (cm) (father’s height + mother’s height -13)/2 = daughter’s height (cm) This method is based purely on genetic factors, there will be +10 to -10 error. In addition to genetics, a child’s height is also influenced by acquired environmental factors (including nutrition and exercise, etc.). If a child’s growth has been slow recently, parents should first be aware of how long the growth rate has been slowing down. If it is more than a year or two without growth, then the child’s growth plates have probably shut down, in which case the height is basically set. If this is not the case, it is possible that scoliosis is delaying the child’s height. The center of our body is the spine, which is responsible for maintaining the body’s balance. If the spine is curved or twisted and the body can’t find balance, it will have a hard time developing. If scoliosis causes asymmetry in the growth plates of the legs, the larger growth plate will close in order to match the smaller one, and this will set the child’s height early. When the body is unbalanced, it tilts to the stable side and the leg bones become bent, which also affects the child’s height. Parents should also be aware that scoliosis can also become difficult to correct when the growth plates close. Therefore, once a child is found to have scoliosis, he or she should be treated as early as possible with all efforts to correct it.
