Why do children not grow taller?

Height is a very important thing for everyone. Everyone wants to have a tall figure, so as parents, they also hope that their children can become tall. Therefore, during the growth period of many children, parents take good care of their children from nutritional intake to physical training and proper sleep. However, many children still do not grow taller, which makes many parents very anxious. Now I will introduce to you the reasons why children always fail to grow taller.

1. Familial short stature (i.e. parents are short in height).

2. Babies born with intrauterine growth retardation (small for full-term babies) and premature babies are smaller than normal newborns, and 10%-15% of them cannot catch up with the normal height curve after the age of 2.

3. Before puberty, the height growth is less than 5 cm per year.

4. Shorter in height than children of the same age.

5. Sexual development is too early or too late.

6. Obese children.

7. History of breech presentation, dystocia, birth asphyxia, brain trauma, etc. combined with slow growth.

8. Children who have taken or have taken for a long time height-increasing drugs, immune-enhancing drugs, glucocorticoids, and kidney-tonifying and qi-invigorating Chinese medicine may have complications such as rapid sexual development and premature growth spurt.

9. Children with hypothyroidism. Some children with congenital hypothyroidism develop the disease before the age of 2 and, if left untreated, will suffer from mental retardation. However, the disease usually manifests itself after the age of 2 with symptoms such as growth disorders, constipation, anemia, lack of activity, and loss of appetite.

The above is the reason why children do not grow taller than those who wear large furniture that I introduced. In fact, parents should not be discouraged. After all, people’s peak growth and development not only occurs in adolescence, but the growth rate in youth is also very rapid. Therefore, both parents and children must persevere, and there will definitely be results. Especially pay more attention to sleep, exercise, diet and other aspects. In addition, children need to maintain a good mood, which is also beneficial for height growth.
