The height of a 2-year-old child determines his or her adult height

People always say that a child's height depends on the genes of his parents. Science has proven that the statement that height comes from genetics is not quite correct. Genetics only accounts for a certain proportion, but most of it comes from acquired formation. Many parents hope that their children will have a standard height in the future, especially parents who are short have this expectation even stronger. During every child's growth process, there are height standards for each age stage, and the height at the age of 2 determines the height in adulthood.

The baby's height is a complex issue, involving genetics, environment, diet, exercise, sleep, emotions and other aspects. Too much emphasis or neglect of any one link will not achieve the desired result. If you try to force the issue, problems will be more likely to occur. When the baby reaches 2 years old, the growth rate of his limbs accelerates and his bones grow rapidly. Now he can walk independently and his range of motion has expanded a lot. Now is the time when the baby's growth and development is most vigorous. Remember to give the baby adequate nutrition.

There are many traditional methods to predict a baby's height, and most parents are aware of them. In recent years, foreign experts have found that a baby’s height at the age of 2 can be used to roughly estimate his or her height as an adult, which is worth learning from. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

Girls: Adult height (cm) = 0.545H2 + 0.544A + 25.63

Boys: Adult height (cm) = 0.545H2 + 0.544A + 37.69

(Note: H2 is the height at the age of 2, A is (father's height + mother's height)/2)

Observational data on the baby's height growth pattern show that the baby's height at the age of 2 is closely related to the adult height. That is to say, if a baby is shorter than other babies of the same age at the age of 2, it will mean that he will be shorter as an adult. Therefore, we must grasp the rapid growth and development period from 0 to 3 years old. If the parents are short, they must not miss this stage. Therefore, the motor ability of babies after two years old is significantly enhanced. Parents can guide their babies to learn to jump like animals, such as rabbit jump, cat jump, etc. Parents can first demonstrate by jumping with both feet and guide the baby to imitate; or parents can hold the baby's hand and let the baby use the force to jump up.

From the above introduction, we know that a child’s height depends on many factors, not just the parents’ genes. We also know from the above that the height of a child at the age of 2 is the most important stage. During this period, we must grasp the rapid period of the child's growth and development, and let the child imitate more and exercise more. Only in this way can the child grow to a standard height in the future.
