As the saying goes: "A tall man looks good if he stands in front of the door and does not work." Outstanding height does have a great impact on a child's future life.

I don’t know since when, parents seem to have a different obsession with the height of their children, and they try their best to make their height meet the standard, or even exceed it.

However, parents also have a lot of worries, that is, they are worried that if they are too short, their children will be limited by genetic factors and will not be tall. This is the case in my aunt's family.

Both my aunt and uncle were born and raised in rural areas. They were often hungry as children, resulting in malnutrition. The aunt is only 153 centimeters tall, and the uncle is only 161 centimeters tall.

Unfortunately, it seems that their daughter has also inherited their height. At 6 years old, she is only 100cm tall, which is almost 10cm shorter than children of the same age.

He was the shortest in the class, and his aunt and uncle were very anxious.

Therefore, in order to buy nutritional supplements for their daughter and for her daughter to have good living and study conditions in the future, my uncle and aunt decided to go to the city to work, and their daughter was left with the child's grandmother.

In the city, my aunt heard from somewhere that the reason why children don't grow taller is due to calcium deficiency, so she bought a lot of calcium supplements for her daughter and sent them back. She made video calls with her daughter every night, urging her to eat them.

As a result, I didn't spend less money, but my height grew slower than before.

When the grandma saw something was wrong, she quickly stopped giving calcium supplements to the child, regardless of the objections of her aunt and uncle, and took care of the child in her own way, hoping to help her granddaughter increase her height.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. My aunt and uncle have established a firm foothold in the city and are preparing to come back to take their daughter to the city for junior high school.

When they came back and saw their daughter, the aunt and others were shocked. The 12-year-old daughter was much taller than them and her complexion became much better.

Seeing that their daughter had grown so tall, the aunt and uncle were so excited that they quickly asked the child's grandmother why.

The grandma said that the child had been taking calcium supplements, but his height had slowed down, and she felt something was wrong at this time.

She took her child to the hospital for a check-up, and what the doctor said shocked her into a cold sweat.

The doctor said that it was fortunate that he was brought here early, otherwise the child might never grow again.

The reason is that calcium supplementation may indeed help children grow taller. However, if the child is not deficient in calcium and continues to provide calcium supplements to the child, it is likely to cause the bone calculus line to close prematurely, and the child will not grow taller.

.

After hearing this, grandma was very frightened, and then she asked the doctor to help give guidance on how to make the child grow taller. Not to mention super tall, at least not shorter than children of the same age.

The doctor was so overwhelmed that he had no choice but to tell grandma four methods. He also said that this method was more economical, more effective and more important than calcium supplementation.

1. Get enough sleep and don’t stay up late. After the children go to school, the pressure starts to increase, and sometimes they often stay up late to do homework.

However, for children who are in an important stage of physical development, staying up late is very harmful.

Good sleep helps children grow taller, because only in deep sleep can growth hormone be secreted in large quantities.

Therefore, grandma followed the method given by the doctor and no matter how much her granddaughter wanted to stay up late to watch TV or how much homework her granddaughter had not finished, grandma would not allow her child to stay up late, thereby ensuring that her granddaughter would get enough sleep time to grow taller.

2. Moderate exercise and body stretching. If parents observe carefully, they will find that children who exercise regularly are generally taller.

This is because exercise can accelerate the secretion of growth hormone, promote blood circulation, and stimulate bone development.

In addition, appropriate exercise can also increase children's appetite, ensure sleep quality, and also promote children's growth.

However, the doctor told grandma that exercise is also important. Improper exercise methods may also cause harm to the child. Grandma has a poor memory and does not remember so many things. She only remembers one thing, which is skipping, so she takes her granddaughter around every day.

Skipping rope at home.

3. Psychological counseling to keep children emotionally happy. The doctor told grandma that negative emotions such as depression, tension, and fear will inhibit the secretion of growth hormone; on the contrary, happy and joyful emotions will promote the secretion of growth hormone.
