What are the reasons why children do not grow taller?

In real life, children are the treasures of every parent. Many parents love their children very much and often spoil them. They will do things according to the children's wishes in daily life and diet. Letting children eat some unhealthy fried, roasted or grilled foods for a long time will cause children to have anorexia or be picky eaters, which is very detrimental to the children's physical development and endangers their health. So what is the reason why children do not grow taller? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

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.

To sum up, this is a detailed introduction to the reasons why children do not grow taller. In daily life, parents should give their children more foods containing protein and calcium. These foods can help children's bone development and help children grow taller. In addition, children should do proper exercise in life. Exercising their limbs while exercising is very good for children.
