Can girls grow taller after puberty?

Children nowadays are very tall because the living standards are good and the nutrition is good. The living conditions and environment have brought great benefits to our children. Of course, the height of a child is closely related to family genetics. Many people think that once a child reaches puberty, he or she will not grow anymore. Is this true? Let’s see if children can still grow taller after they have grown.

If you cultivate good habits for your children, they can still grow taller. Because of puberty, the ages of 13 to 16 are only the last major growth period for most people. So how can we make our children grow taller?

Ensure a balanced diet

We should pay attention to the nutritional balance of our diet. The general principle of children's diet is to match coarse and fine grains, animal protein and plant protein, and choose different vegetables and fruits according to the season to ensure that children get enough vitamins and minerals every day. Generally speaking, you should consider adding more high-protein meat and eggs to your child's diet.

Develop good eating habits

The biggest bad eating habits of children are picky eating and partial eating. Parents should not force their children to eat rudely, but should guide them patiently and step by step. As long as they persevere, their children will gradually change their bad eating habits of picky eating and partial eating. If anorexia is caused by digestive dysfunction, appropriate amounts of medication should be used to regulate the condition and strengthen the digestive and absorption functions to prevent malnutrition and affect the child's growth.

Develop good work and rest habits

The amount of sleep a child needs varies with their age. A newborn baby needs 18 to 20 hours, 16 to 18 hours for 2 to 3 months old, and 15 to 16 hours for 5 to 9 months old. When a baby turns 1 year old, it takes 14 to 15 hours, and when he is 7 to 13 years old, it takes 9 to 10 hours. Children over 13 years old generally need 8 hours of sleep. A good work and rest schedule is: eat when it is time to eat, study when it is time to study, relax as much as possible when it is time to rest, and go to bed when it is time to sleep. Only by forming a relatively fixed work and rest schedule can it be beneficial to the child's growth and development, and help him grow tall.

After reading the above content, many parents feel relieved. Children's growth is a natural process. Don't think about adding pressure to children, and don't force them to grow. Just let children grow naturally. And it is not necessarily good for children to grow too fast. As long as the child's nutrition can keep up, plus a proper amount of exercise, then the child's growth will not be a problem.
