How can children grow taller if their parents are not tall?

All parents hope that their children are tall, but many parents think that genetic height is the height of their parents. In fact, genetic height refers to the family height. If the family is generally short, then it would be unreasonable for the child to grow up to be as tall as Yao Ming in the future. But if you ensure proper exercise, adequate sleep and balanced nutrition, then below I will introduce to you how children can grow taller if their parents are not tall. Let’s take a look.

1. Exercise: It refers to reasonable exercise. High-intensity exercise like athletes will increase the burden on children's joints and inhibit their growth and development. Jumping rope is very effective in improving children's height and is easy to operate. Parents can let their children jump once a day for ten minutes each time. If they persist in doing so, they will get good results. In addition, basketball, badminton, swimming, etc. are all very good forms of exercise. It is best for parents to help their children develop good habits of loving sports.

2. Sleep: It is best to go to bed early. The most active time for growth hormone secretion is from 10 pm to 2 am. Parents should not let their children go to bed after 10 o'clock. It is best for primary school students to go to bed before 9:30 and ensure eight hours of sleep every day.

3. Nutrition: It must be balanced. If a child is partial or picky about food, he or she will not grow tall. Parents should supplement their children with enough protein, such as milk, meat, etc., and also pay attention to trace elements such as zinc, calcium, and iron. Deficiency can also cause growth retardation. If the best growth time is missed, it will be difficult to catch up later.

4. Disease: It is also a key factor affecting height. Parents should also pay attention to improving their children’s immunity. If children have chronic diseases such as long-term cough and allergic rhinitis, they need early treatment.

Introduced above are methods for children of short parents to grow taller. I believe everyone has already understood it. I also want to tell you that if it is indeed dwarfism, parents must not believe in so-called folk remedies. At present, there is no other drug treatment except growth hormone. Indiscriminate use of drugs will also harm the child's body. However, the use of growth hormone must be under the guidance of a doctor.
