Why don't children grow taller?

Whether children can grow taller must be an issue that most parents are concerned about, because if children do not grow taller, it will not only affect their future life and finding a partner and other issues, but parents do not understand why their children do not grow taller? In this way, they cannot judge the reasons why their children do not grow tall in time, and they cannot improve the situation based on these reasons. Because there are many reasons in life that can cause children to not grow tall, if you understand these reasons in daily life, you can take measures for your children according to the situation.

1. Genetics

70% of a person's height is determined by genetics, and 30% is determined by acquired factors. Therefore, the baby's height is more due to congenital heredity. The height of parents greatly affects the height of their offspring. However, we cannot ignore the 30% acquired factors.

2. Nutrition

If your baby is a picky eater or has incomplete nutrition, his growth potential will be harmed. It is necessary to add complementary food to the baby in time after 4 months, because 4 to 8 months is the critical period for the baby to form conditioned reflexes for swallowing solid food. Cultivate your baby's eating skills in a timely manner, so that your baby can learn to move from liquid food to solid food to meet the nutritional needs of physical development.

3. Exercise

Exercise can stimulate your baby's growth. Exercise can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone and increase the proliferation of chondrocytes in the epiphyseal fossa of long bones. In addition, when exercising, blood circulation is good, bone cells are more active, and the absorption of bone calcium can be increased.

Skipping rope can effectively promote the baby's height growth rate and increase the duration of height increase. In addition, running, playing ball and other exercises can help babies secrete growth hormone.

4. Sleep

The first peak of human growth hormone secretion is from 10 pm to 1 am, and the second peak is from 4 to 5 am. Therefore, you must ensure that your baby goes to bed before 10 o'clock and enters deep sleep in the early hours of the morning.

5. Season

The baby's height growth rate is not the same in each child. The fastest growing season is in May, with an average of 7.3 mm. Growth is slowest in October, averaging only 3.3 mm. Generally speaking, April and May each year are the best time for babies to grow.

6. Psychology

Scientists have found that if a baby is under too much psychological pressure, or lives in anxiety for a long time, or if factors such as discord between parents occur, these factors will have a negative effect on the baby's subconscious mind. The baby's neuroendocrine system function will be disrupted, affecting the secretion of growth hormone, causing the baby to not grow tall.

Nowadays, children are the treasures of the family. Parents are worried about every aspect of their children. The most important one is why children do not grow taller. This is probably an issue that many parents pay special attention to. The above introduces some of the reasons why children do not grow tall. I also hope that parents can pay attention to it and not let their height ruin their children's lives.
