What should I do if my child has not grown in height for half a year?

Children will start to grow when they reach a certain age, until puberty, but some people will still grow when they reach the age of twenty-five or twenty-six. Of course, this varies from person to person. Many people often measure their children, and some people find that their children’s height has not changed for a long time. In fact, there is no need to worry about such a problem. Let’s see what to do if your child has not grown taller in half a year?

Growth generally occurs most rapidly during puberty. That is between the ages of twelve and fifteen. So don't be impatient.

1. When children are sick, do not buy adult medicines on their own. Some medicines (such as quinolone anti-inflammatory drugs) will interfere with bone growth.

2. Maintain a balanced diet and avoid picky eating. If you sweat often or have leg cramps, you can buy calcium supplements for children. 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.

3. Exercise more, but pay attention to safety. The most effective exercises are horizontal bar, jumping, swimming, rings, floor exercises, basketball and pull-ups. Because jumping can stretch muscles and ligaments and stimulate cartilage growth; swimming can fully stretch and exercise all parts of the body; pull-ups can stretch the spine and promote the growth of the spine, thereby promoting the continuous growth of children and adolescents.

4. Don’t pay too much attention to height, so as not to cause psychological anxiety to your child, which will also affect his growth. Let nature take its course, focus on his strengths, encourage him to learn, and as long as he is cheerful, positive and lives optimistically, it doesn't matter whether he meets your expectations in the future or not.

Through the above content, parents have a very clear answer. Parents do not have to worry about the height of their children, because many times children's growth is divided into stages. It is normal for a child not to grow in half a year. As long as the child's nutrition is supplemented in time and with appropriate activities, such as playing basketball, it can promote the child's growth.
