Modern people have stricter and stricter height requirements, and children’s development is becoming more and more important in the eyes of parents. In an era where faces are judged by height, many parents will pay more attention to the height of their children. After all, once a child's developmental stage is over, it's difficult for them to grow taller.
In the height chart of boys: the median height at 1 year old reached 76.5cm. It reached 96.8cm at the age of 3 years. Reached 140.2cm at the age of 10. At the age of 18, it reaches 172.7cm.
In the height chart of girls: the median height at 1 year old reaches 75cm. It reached 95.6cm at the age of 3 years. At the age of 10, it reached 140.1cm. At the age of 18, it reaches 160.6cm.
Looking at this standard height chart, many parents become anxious.
Wan'er has very strict requirements for the height of her children. Her goal is to hope that her son can grow to a height of 1.8 meters, so during the child's development stage, she can be said to be very tall. Try your best.
His son is ten years old this year. Because he pays great attention to the child's height, Wan'er knows the height standards for children by heart. Wan'er knows that in the 2020 children's height chart, the standard height for boys is 140.2cm when they are 10 years old.
However, his son's height always stays around 135~136. This makes Wan'er puzzled. She is so strict with her children's diet. Why can't her children still reach the standard figure?
1. Heredity
From a genetic point of view, about 70% of a child's adult height depends on the height of his parents, and the remaining 30% is affected by other factors.
Many parents think that if they are tall, their children will not be short, so they do not pay attention to their children's nurture. However, this is a wrong view.
If the parents themselves are not tall, then the intervention of the day after tomorrow is very important for the height of the child.
2. Sleep well and grow taller
If you try to measure your height in the morning and evening, we will find that the height measured in the morning will be higher, while the height measured at night will be higher. Not that high.
And our work of growing taller is mainly carried out at night. Growth hormone, which helps us grow taller, is secreted more intensely at night.
When Jing’s mother goes out to give lectures, she often sees many children who eat a lot of milk but do not grow well. When asked, the children eat during the day and drink milk at night. They have to get up several times every night to drink milk. Milk, so children tend not to grow taller.
Some children always fail to reach the standard height, so parents need to observe whether the problem is actually the child's sleep problem. Some children are very energetic at night and don't want to sleep. This requires parents to adjust their children's work and rest habits.
3. Exercise
Some children like to stay at home reading, watching TV, playing on mobile phones, etc. Parents did not guide their children to engage in regular outdoor sports when they were young, plus playing games on mobile phones. It’s so fun, so it’s normal for children not to like sports.
Children who do not like to exercise and prefer to stay at home are more likely to become obese because they sit often and eat too much. Once obese children do not like to exercise, they will become fatter.
Being too obese will lead to an advanced bone age in children and cause premature puberty. Originally, the height can grow to 18 years old, but because they are too fat, they may only grow to 15 years old. Three years and ten centimeters less.
1. Milk
Milk is essential in most of our families now. In fact, milk is very effective for the growth and development of children. Because milk contains very high protein and nutrients, the nutrients are also very comprehensive. It can help children supplement the single nutrients they lack.
Therefore, parents prepare a glass of milk for their children every day, which will help their children’s growth and development and make them grow taller.
2. Beans
Soy products are very rich in nutrients and very high in protein and carbohydrates. They also have a lot of calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals. These substances are of great help to the child's body and can supplement various nutrients that the child's body lacks.
Therefore, in the usual diet, parents can prepare some beans or soy products for their children, such as tofu, dried tofu, etc.
3. Vegetables and fruits
As we all know, vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, which not only promote the growth and development of children, but also enhance their immunity. The benefits to children are self-evident.
During the child's developmental stage, it does not mean that it is good to prepare big fish and meat for the child every day. We should pay attention to balanced nutrition and provide the child with comprehensive nutritional supplements. It is of great benefit to children to eat more vegetables and fruits on a daily basis.
A message from Jing’s mother: Children’s health is a parent’s top priority. However, parents do not need to worry too much. In daily life, they should pay more attention to their children's nutritional balance and reasonable nutrition, so that their children can grow up healthily.
