What is the normal height for a 12 year old boy?

It is normal for boys to grow taller later than girls because girls mature earlier. Boys will experience a rapid growth in height during puberty, which is a good thing. It means that boys' height will be greatly improved, which is very beneficial to the child's future development. Let's take a look at what is the normal height for a twelve-year-old boy. I hope you can understand it.

The average height for a 12-year-old boy is around 150cm. As long as he is above 150cm, it is considered standard. By the age of 13, he should be about 160cm tall. If it is lower than this standard, your height will not be very tall when you reach adulthood (18 years old). Therefore, the stage from 13 to 16 is the critical stage for determining your height. You should exercise more, supplement your nutrition and get enough rest.

1. Supplement appropriate nutrition. It is very necessary for us primary school students who are growing and developing to supplement nutrition in moderation. Why are Americans so tall? It’s because they start drinking milk since childhood. Why do Japanese people live so long? It’s because they start eating fish from a young age. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to eat moderate amounts of chicken, duck, fish and more vegetables and fruits.

2. Exercise more. To grow taller it is not enough just to supplement nutrition, we also need to exercise more. Because exercise can stimulate the bones in the thigh and stretch them, basketball is the most suitable sport in this regard.

3. Get enough sleep. In the upper grades of elementary school, as the study burden becomes heavier, many students often have to go to bed around 11 o'clock at night. This is very detrimental to your height growth. Because growth hormone is secreted when you sleep, if you don't maintain a certain amount of sleep time, you won't grow taller.

4. Keep a happy mood. Don’t think that it is unnecessary to maintain a happy mood. In fact, it is also very important.

In addition, children should eat an egg every day, because eggs contain essential nutrients such as protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and inorganic salts, and are easily digested and absorbed by the human body.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals. Especially more vitamin C. Enhance immunity. Don't underestimate some green leafy vegetables, they are high in calcium.
