Will the child grow taller after development?

In fact, many people want to have a tall stature, and every mother hopes that her children can grow tall. After all, for boys, being tall means being handsome, and for girls, being tall means being beautiful. Like the Oppa in Korean dramas, they all have a golden ratio stature, attracting the attention of many beauties. The prerequisite for a girl's perfect stature is to have a tall stature. Now many parents are worried about whether their children will grow taller after development. Many people buy a lot of supplements to supplement their children's nutrition, hoping that their children can grow taller. Now I will solve this question for you.

Grasp the three golden periods of children's growth

Basic stage - preschool

The preschool period (4 to 6 years old) is an important period of children's growth and development, and it is also the basic stage for children to grow taller. Calcium supplementation around the age of 6 is very important for children's future growth. At this time, the human skeleton is in a reserve period, and the daily calcium requirement for bone development is 800 mg. Children of this age may suffer from picky eating, anorexia, and severe lack of calcium intake, which affects the calcium reserves in the bones. This will directly lead to the children's short stature and reduced height growth during the developmental period. The 2002 National Nutrition Survey showed that the dietary calcium intake of Chinese residents only reached about 40% of the recommended intake, so children at this stage need calcium supplements.

Growth spurt stage - school age

The age of 10 to 16 is the growth period for children, and their height grows rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Studies have found that for every additional 30,000 mg of calcium a child absorbs during this stage, his or her height will increase by 1 cm. However, the daily diet provided by an average family contains less than 50% of the calcium required by a child, which is far from meeting the needs for growth and development. Therefore, additional calcium supplementation is needed.

Sprint stage - adolescence

For males aged 17 to 25 and for females aged 16 to 23, this is the final sprint stage of height growth. Studies have found that the epiphyseal cartilage of adolescents has not yet truly healed at this stage, and there is still a potential for growth of 2 to 3 cm each year. At this time, supplementing with sufficient calcium can fully tap their potential for growth and allow them to "go further and further."

The three golden periods are closely linked

A child’s three golden growth periods are like dominoes, one link after another, a continuous dynamic process. This stage is the foundation for the next stage of growth. Children who do not take in enough calcium during the reserve period will be affected in their height growth during the developmental period if they have improper diet and malnutrition. If children in the developmental period cannot take in enough calcium, it will inevitably affect the final sprint of height growth. Therefore, at all stages of a child's life, it is important to ensure adequate calcium intake and not take it lightly.

N Misconceptions about Children's Height Growth

Spring is the season when all things grow, and it is also the time of the year when children grow the fastest. During these months every year, the pediatric endocrinology clinic is always extremely busy, with many parents seeking consultation or treatment in order to find a magic formula to grow taller. However, faced with round after round of questions, doctors often feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry. There are too many misunderstandings in this regard. Experts say that a person's height is affected by many factors, such as genetics, nutrition, disease and growth hormone. It is not possible to grow taller by relying solely on exogenous supplements or treatments.

Besides, whether a child is short or not still needs to be objectively assessed. If you believe everything you hear and spread false information, it will harm your children. Experts believe that parents should not only be alert to their children's growth and development delays, but also have a certain ability to distinguish. The most important thing is that if you have any questions, you should consult a specialist in a regular hospital instead of giving your child random food and supplements, which may cause unpredictable consequences.

Regarding whether children will grow taller after they grow up, I believe everyone already knows it. In fact, children will grow taller after they grow up. This developmental age group is the stage of growth. Pay attention to balanced nutrition. Children's height will be affected by their parents' genetic inheritance, but it can also be changed by some external factors. So now there are many parents who are not obviously tall but their children are very tall.
