What should I do if my child does not meet the height requirement?

Now that people's lives are getting better and better, their nutrition can naturally keep up. This is why there are more and more tall people in modern society, including some tall women. However, some parents have found that their children not only appear very thin compared with children of the same age, but more importantly, their height does not meet the standard. So, what should we do if children do not meet the height requirement?

First, vitamins A, D, C and minerals such as calcium, iron, and phosphorus are important ingredients that promote the growth of young children. It is rich in foods such as milk, eggs, beans, fish, and lean meat.

Second, let children spend more time outdoors and get more sun exposure. Exercise can promote metabolism, speed up blood circulation, deliver more nutrients to bone tissue, accelerate bone growth and make bones dense.

Third, in order to protect the normal development of children's bones, attention should be paid to cultivating children's correct sitting and standing postures, and at the same time, ensure that children have enough sleep.

Fourth, exercise is better than milk. No matter how much milk a child drinks, he or she will not necessarily have healthier bones. If you want to have healthy bones, exercise is more important than increasing calcium intake.

Fifth, riding a stroller helps the baby's bones develop healthily.

There are two peak periods of growth in a person’s life:

One is the first year after birth. When a person is born, he is about 50 cm tall. He grows to 75 cm at the age of one. He grows about 5 cm every year thereafter. More than 1/3 of an adult's height is grown before the age of 2.

The second is before puberty, during this stage the baby can grow 8-10 cm a year. Next, there is a huge leap in puberty, which varies from person to person. Most boys can grow about 30 cm and girls can grow about 25 cm.

There are many sayings among the people, such as "a leap in height at the age of 23 and a bulge in height at the age of 25". In fact, these are all wrong. Investigations have found that after the age of 18 for boys and 16 for girls, the epiphyses have basically closed and they will basically stop growing taller.
