How can children grow taller?

After comparing their children with other children, some parents will find that, although they are almost the same age, their children are so much shorter. Is it genetic? Indeed, genetics can affect height. Sometimes you can see that all members of a family are tall or all members are short. However, this problem can be changed. Let’s talk about how to make children tall.

1. Ensure a balanced diet

Pay attention to the nutritional balance of your diet. 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. Generally speaking, you should consider adding more high-protein meat and eggs to your child's diet.

2. Develop good eating habits

The biggest bad eating habits of children are picky eating and partial eating. Parents should not force their children to eat rudely, but should guide them patiently and step by step. As long as they persevere, their children will gradually change their bad eating habits of picky eating and partial eating. If anorexia is caused by digestive dysfunction, appropriate amounts of medication should be used to regulate the condition and strengthen the digestive and absorption functions to prevent malnutrition and affect the child's growth.

3. Develop good work and rest habits

The amount of sleep a child needs varies with their age. A newborn baby needs 18 to 20 hours, 16 to 18 hours for 2 to 3 months old, and 15 to 16 hours for 5 to 9 months old. When a baby turns 1 year old, it takes 14 to 15 hours, and when he is 7 to 13 years old, it takes 9 to 10 hours. Children over 13 years old generally need 8 hours of sleep.

A good work and rest schedule is: eat when it is time to eat, study when it is time to study, relax as much as possible when it is time to rest, and go to bed when it is time to sleep. Only by forming a relatively fixed work and rest schedule can it be beneficial to the child's growth and development, and help him grow tall.

Through the above introduction on how children can grow taller, I believe parents and friends should know that the three most important points are to ensure a balanced diet and not to be picky about food. Every food has all the nutrients needed by the human body, and sufficient sleep every day is also necessary for growing taller. Of course, it must be said that exercise is also indispensable.
