Recently, a parent told reporters with emotion that his junior high school daughter was 14 years old with excellent grades, but her height was only 1.44. He once went to the hospital to check the bone age of his child, and the doctor said that his daughter’s bone age was just a little bit close to all closed, and her height would probably stop growing at about 1.46. Now he doesn’t know what to do. In recent years, many children like this have come to the clinic, mainly because many parents do not understand the laws of child growth and development. How can we correctly grasp the laws of child growth and development? The sooner parents pay attention to their children’s height, the better, especially for children with poor genetic background (i.e. both parents are not ideal height) or with special height wishes, special attention should start at birth because the child’s nutrition and development in the mother’s womb will directly affect its growth and development after birth. Many parents mistakenly believe that they do not need to worry about their children’s future height before their children develop, and that their height will not be worse than others as long as they develop normally, and only when their children should grow taller but still do not show signs of growth do they start to worry. At this time, most children’s epiphyses have already closed or will close, missing the best time for treatment. Parents are reminded that the healthy growth of children depends on a variety of factors, but reasonable nutrition, scientific exercise and regular checkups are important factors to ensure the healthy growth of children. Proper nutrition is an important factor in the healthy growth of children. Whether it is height growth or intellectual development, only a good nutritional status can enable children’s genetic potential to be fully developed. In particular, infancy is a critical period of growth and development for children, and breastfeeding is advocated after birth. When the infant reaches 4-6 months of age, pureed foods should be added to the infant and gradually transition to semi-solid and solid foods. At this stage, infants should be allowed to taste different flavors of food, from less to more, from fine to coarse, from one to many. Through this stage of feeding, the child can avoid partial and picky eating, so that he or she can develop good eating habits and lay the foundation for healthy growth. Under the premise of ensuring the child’s scientific diet and nutrition, scientific exercise can promote the child’s development, improve physical quality and strengthen physical resistance. Scientific exercise can also adjust the body shape, make the body proportion more reasonable, more ideal height Exercise will also stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone, promote the production of epiphyseal bone cells, so that the growth of dry bone, so that the bone density increases. Regular scientific exercise can make muscle volume and muscle mass increase, thus improving the speed and endurance of muscle movement. At the same time, exercise burns excess calories ingested and keeps fat in the body within reasonable limits. Exercises that help children increase their height include: high jump, rope skipping, basketball, volleyball, running, single and double bars, pull-ups, calisthenics, swimming, running, etc. Growth monitoring is the repeated measurement of height and weight of a child at a specific age. The height and weight values measured each time reflect the growth level of the child at that age. A child’s growth rate is the most direct and easiest way to determine if there is a growth disorder. By measuring height continuously over different periods of time, it is possible to see if the growth rate of height is normal. It is recommended that parents should accurately measure their child’s height and weight at least once every six months, and carefully record and save the data. These figures not only record the growth of the child, but also reflect the growth of the child at different ages. In addition, parents should also regularly give their children a physical examination, record the measurement data at different times, and connect the points traced several times to draw a simple growth curve. If the child’s growth curve shows a steady upward trend, it indicates a normal growth rate; if the curve does not change much or declines, it means that the child’s growth may have problems. Parents should bring their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to identify the cause of the child’s growth retardation and provide targeted treatment.
