What to do if your child doesn't like to grow taller

Nowadays, most families have only one child, so the child becomes the treasure of everyone. As the child grows up, his family will always compare the child with other people's children and find that the child is not as tall as others. You can imagine how they feel at this time. Although they have taken many measures, they always feel that their child just doesn't want to grow taller. So, what should we do if our children don’t want to grow taller? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Understand the laws of children’s growth physiology and exercise

The development of the spine and long bones are the most important. During your baby's first year, the spine grows faster than the limbs. The baby's motor development should be adapted to the development of the spine, that is, the baby will be able to lift his head at 2 to 3 months, sit alone at 6 to 7 months, crawl at 8 to 9 months, stand at 10 to 11 months, and walk at 12 to 16 months. If the baby has not reached the corresponding age, it is not advisable for him to learn to sit or stand too early, so as to avoid excessive flexion of the spine, which will also affect his height.

2. Development of long bones

Long bones are the long bones of the limbs, which are divided into three parts: the shaft, the epiphysis and the metaphysis. During the baby's entire growth and development process, bone growth continues in the ossification centers and cartilage plates of the epiphysis at both ends of the long bones, causing the bone length to gradually increase and the height to increase accordingly.

3. Choose different sports for different ages

Babies under 1 year old: Active and passive exercises should be combined. Active exercise means helping your baby to do some exercises such as lifting his head, crawling, and turning over. Passive exercise is when parents do some baby exercises and massage for their babies, which is also beneficial to the baby's growth and development.

It is still very worrying for parents when their children are unwilling to grow up. What should I do if my child doesn't want to grow taller? Sometimes it's not that the child is not growing, but that the right time has not come. Parents should have a certain understanding of their children's physical development and be able to solve the problem in a targeted manner to avoid unnecessary trouble. This is very important.
