The dangers of early childhood development

Children's development has always been a particular concern for many parents. However, if children develop early, there will be many dangers. Therefore, many parents, in order to ensure that their children develop more healthily, want to fully understand the dangers of early development in children. The following content provides a detailed introduction, which can help many parents have a comprehensive understanding.

1. It is very easy to cause psychological barriers to children. Although the sexual characteristics of precocious children develop earlier, their psychological and intellectual development level is still at the actual age level. The premature appearance of sexual characteristics and development of reproductive organs can cause psychological disorders in children. In particular, seeing that their own sexual traits are different from those of people around them can easily cause children to have inferiority complex. This kind of mentality is likely to leave sequelae in their adulthood.

2. Distract the children and affect their study. It should be said that the appearance of sexual characteristics and the development of reproductive organs will definitely distract children, especially girls. Early menstruation often makes them feel uneasy, shy and nervous. At the same time, girls' bodies develop too early and they are unable to deal with the impact of menstruation on their lives. In addition, the imbalance in physical and psychological development also brings many inconveniences to their lives, which is bound to affect children's reading and learning.

3. Affect the height of the child, causing him or her to be shorter than his or her peers. Children who develop early often have accelerated bone growth, making them appear taller than other children of the same age. In fact, this is only a temporary phenomenon. Due to the early stimulation of sex hormones, the closure of the epiphysis will be greatly advanced, and the growth period will be shortened accordingly. That is, the long bone shaft and epiphysis will close prematurely and stop growing. Generally speaking, girls can only grow about 5 cm on average within 3 years after their menarche and boys can only grow about 5 cm on average within 3 years after their first nocturnal emission. Therefore, children with early development will eventually be shorter than their peers.

4. It may cause systemic endocrine disorders in children. We know that premature development itself is an endocrine disease, but the degree of endocrine disorders in children varies from person to person, that is, there are differences in severity and urgency. Children with mild symptoms mainly show an imbalance in sex hormone levels, while children with severe symptoms will develop systemic endocrine disorders. For example, hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex can cause systemic hirsutism in children. Conversely, children with hypofunction of the adrenal cortex will show reduced and dry hair, and even loss of pubic and axillary hair. Those with hyperthyroidism may have fine and soft hair or premature graying of hair. Children with the same hypothyroidism will have reduced hair during the growth phase and increased hair during the regression phase. This is only the external manifestation of endocrine disorders on the hair, and there are many systemic symptoms.

The above is a comprehensive introduction to the hazards of early development in children. After a comprehensive understanding, many parents must adjust their children's daily diet and not let their children develop too early. Premature development will cause serious harm to children's physical and mental health. Therefore, many parents must have a specific understanding of this aspect.
