There are two stages in a child's life, which are the fastest growing stages.
Children are still young, but they are only growing slowly at present. Many children have entered the stage of rapid growth in height and weight since junior high school. Look at the children now, few of them are short, so parents should not worry too much.
There are many factors for children to grow slowly, excluding disease factors, including genetic factors, diet, work and rest, etc. In fact, parents should not worry, and some methods adopted the day after tomorrow can help children's growth and development reach the ideal standard.
First of all, let's look at the reasons that affect children's growth and development, and know these reasons to find solutions. First, genetic factors
Listening to the old man's saying that "my father is short and my mother is short and short", the height of my parents is really important, but this proverb is a misinformation.
It is found that 70% of a person's height is inherited from his parents, of which 35% is his father and 35% is his mother, and the remaining 30% comes from acquired nutrition and exercise.
Second, insufficient nutrition intake
In the past, most children were malnourished and didn't have sufficient nutrition sources during their growth and development. Now this is rare. However, some children are so picky about food that they refuse to eat food they don't like. They like to eat snacks and fried food. These things are very unhealthy and are not conducive to their growth and development. If you don't eat three meals a day on time, or skip breakfast, your body's biological clock will be disrupted for a long time, which will affect your health.
Third, lack of sleep
After the child falls asleep, the body will secrete a growth hormone, which is an important condition for the child to grow taller. Some children like to stay up late, don't like to sleep, watch TV, play games until late, or have busy homework, which leads to lack of sleep. Lack of sleep will affect the secretion of growth hormone, resulting in children's short stature.
Fourth, do not love sports
Life lies in exercise. Nowadays, many people have a good sense of exercise, but they never take action. Regular exercise helps to exercise their physique, increase their resistance and improve the growth and development level of children.
How to make children's growth and development at a standard level requires the following: 1. Diet rules.
Second, often participate in physical exercise.
Third, work and rest regularly, and develop good sleep habits.
Finally, mothers should also pay attention to their children's emotional changes and mental health. When the children are in a bad mood and depressed, they should help them enlighten and communicate with them often. Only by keeping a good mood can a healthy body promote normal growth and development.
Children grow slowly, first of all, don't be too anxious. Every child's growth is different, some grow taller first, and some grow taller later. For example, myself, when I was in the sixth grade of primary school, I was tall in my class and stood behind in line for exercises. But after middle school, I grew very slowly, and my height was surpassed by many students who were shorter than me.
Secondly, we can start with a little bit of daily habits. To improve the quality of sleep and create a good sleeping environment for children, it is ideal to go to bed before nine o'clock. Don't go crazy and watch cartoons before going to bed, read quietly and let your heart calm down. 10 goes to sleep, which is the time when growth hormone secretion is strong. Keep a dark environment during sleep and don't be stimulated by lights.
Some children sleep too long in the afternoon, so it is not easy to fall asleep at night. At this time, we need to shorten the nap time to ensure a good night's sleep.
In terms of diet, it is full of color, smell and taste, which is more likely to trigger children's desire to eat. If you really don't want to eat meat, when cooking, prepare a bowl of quinoa rice for your child. Its protein content is equivalent to that of beef, which plays a temporary role in replacing meat. If you don't eat meat, try to keep eating an egg every day.
The more children exercise, the easier they are to get hungry, and the more they have an appetite for eating. Take more children to discharge, eat well and sleep soundly.
Finally, it is also important to develop good eating habits. Children should try to eat independently and don't be fed by others. Concentrate on eating while eating, and stay away from toys and videos.
Typing on mobile phone, I only think so much for the time being, which is a summary of taking the baby personally. I hope it will be useful to you.
Thank you for inviting Wukong!
Hello, first of all, let's talk about the reasons that may affect the child's slow growth. The child you talked about is over 4 years old. He usually has a normal diet and is not picky about food, and his nutrition is ok, that is, he grows slowly. It may be that the height development of children is influenced by genetic factors, exercise status and growth hormone level.
What can children do if they grow slowly?
1, exercise more: Some children are lively and jumping around, so the amount of exercise will increase, which will consume children's physical strength, and then they will easily feel hungry and their appetite will increase. If a child eats a lot, his body will naturally grow fast. Therefore, if their children grow slowly, parents should encourage their children to do more sports, such as running, skipping rope, playing ball and other simple sports, which can consume their children's physical fitness, increase their appetite and be beneficial to their children's health.
2, keep a good sleep: children exercise more during the day, and the quality of sleeping at night will become higher. Parents can brew a glass of milk for their children before they go to bed, and then go to bed, so that they can calm their nerves and supplement calcium energy, so that their children can have a good sleep quality, which will help their children grow up.
3, reasonable diet: pay special attention to the child's diet, parents need to plan and arrange the baby's eating time reasonably, and pay attention to the quality of the child's diet. For example, breakfast should be nutritious and easy to digest, and it is necessary to ensure that children have carbohydrates, rice noodles, noodles, bread and so on in every meal.
It is said that it is an era of looking at faces, but if a handsome boy and a beautiful woman are less than 1.4 meters tall, are you still willing to associate with him or her? Therefore, height is still very important. Parents must pay attention to the height of their children for the sake of their future, but if the children are long. What should I do if I have to slow down?
There are many reasons why children grow slowly, mainly for the following reasons:
1. Overnutrition, giving children too much food without restraint can easily lead to children's obesity, and gaining weight has a certain impact on their height, and it is easy to cause some diseases. Try to give children the right amount of nutrition and mix meat and vegetables well.
2. precocious puberty, children's precocious puberty is very unfavorable to growth and development. Although it can grow rapidly in a short time, it will also stop development more quickly. If you find a child with precocious puberty, you must check the medical treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily affect the height of adulthood. At present, the effective way to treat precocious puberty is to treat it with GnRHa drugs and, if necessary, combined with growth hormone. The effective ones are short-acting growth hormone aqua and long-acting growth hormone aqua, which are injected once a day. Precocious puberty generally appears before boys are nine years old and girls are eight years old, so parents should defend themselves in time.
3. Genetic genes, 70% of height comes from parents' genes. Generally, children with high parents are tall. Although short parents and children are mostly short, 30% of them can grow taller through acquired efforts, as long as they are used well, they still have good results.
4. Lack of sleep or exercise, night is the peak of growth hormone secretion, if you stay up late, it is very unfavorable to grow taller, so you must cultivate the habit of children going to bed early. People who love sports are taller than those who don't. If children don't have much exercise every day, their height will naturally slow down. Parents should encourage their children to participate in outdoor activities and do more jumping exercises.
Children grow slowly, so we must find out the reason and prescribe the right medicine. We must not blindly take so-called height-increasing drugs.
4 years and 2 months 100, although I don't know boys and girls, they are generally short, and they can grow 6 cm a year. From what you said, it is a matter of living habits. Do as you do, and continue to do it. In addition, encourage children to do some longitudinal sports, such as skipping rope or trampoline, and trampoline should be played under the supervision of adults. Go to bed early and sleep regularly. Come on. Very good.
Hello, this netizen, parents are looking forward to the baby's rapid growth, and every stage of the baby has a standard height reference, which is in line with the law of human growth. Some babies will grow taller and some babies will be shorter, which is normal. We can also predict the baby's height through more scientific methods. So, what is the reason for the baby's slow height?
First of all, there are congenital genetic reasons. If both parents are short and there is no tall gene, it is normal to grow short. There is also the nutrition of diet. If the baby doesn't eat enough and the nutrition can't keep up, it will limit the baby's growth, and the body's nutrition is not enough to support the baby's growth.
Secondly, some parents will think that the baby grows tall and slow because of "growing late", so they wait blindly, and they don't supplement nutrition or correct their living habits, which delays the best time for the child to grow tall. Some parents will think that the baby grows tall and slow because of insufficient nutrition, so they blindly supplement nutrition, resulting in overnutrition.
One more thing, when the baby grows slowly, it is suggested that you can go to the hospital to check the trace elements, make up what is missing, and don't blindly make up protein, etc. If it is a genetic factor, you can only grow taller by strengthening exercise and drinking more bone soup. Obese children will also affect their height, and so will premature or late development.
There are many kinds of slowness
One: heredity, so there is no way.
Two: malnutrition, so take your child to see a doctor, urge your child to eat more fruits and vegetables, meat, whole grains, and get more sunshine in winter and spring.
Three: lack of exercise, then parents need to take their children to exercise more.
Four: the pressure in the heart is great. If the pressure in the child's heart will inhibit the secretion of growth hormone.
Five: Some children are born with slow development, which is normal.
According to the law of different growth and development periods, how should the height intervention be carried out in stages?
There are three stages of general intervention: stage one: pre-development (3~ 10 years old) "two controls+nourishment+supplement": strictly control early development and dysplasia, and immediately intervene once abnormal development is found; Develop good life rules; Appropriate supplementation of comprehensive bone nutrients will lay the foundation for the sudden increase of puberty.
Stage 2: During development (10 ~ 14), "supplement+pursuit+promotion": balanced transformation into growth energy, catch-up growth, promoting growth factor secretion, accelerating bone cell division, prolonging children's rapid growth time, and maintaining good growth and long range.
Stage 3: after development (14 ~ 18), "chasing+promoting+dragging": catching up with growth, promoting the secretion of growth factors, accelerating the division of bone cells, delaying the closing time of the growth plate 1 year ~2 years, which can be several centimeters longer.
Starting from children's individual physiological characteristics, based on modern science, natural transformation, comprehensive intervention of nutrition, psychology, exercise, shaping and lifestyle are carried out to guide the direction of bone growth, naturally stimulate children's growth potential, increase their height by 2~5cm a year, and at the same time improve their comprehensive qualities such as height, intelligence, psychology and physique.
1, late growth is also possible-physical puberty is prolonged.
2, but be sure to check in time to eliminate the disease.
3. Miss the best treatment opportunity
4. If the bone age is older than 2 years old and the growth hormone stimulation test is normal, it may be late and long;
5. However, if the bone age matches the age of the child, the possibility of late growth can be ruled out.
Reminder:
Children's growth and development are regular, and full-term babies are generally 50 cm long; The height will increase by 25 cm in the first year after birth and 10 cm in the second year; From the third year to adolescence, the average annual growth rate is 5~8 cm; In adolescence, the child's height will increase by 8~ 12 cm every year for 2 to 3 years.
If the growth rate of children at all stages of growth and development is lower than this standard, it can be judged that the growth rate is slow, so they should see a doctor in time and intervene as early as possible.
Developmental retardation refers to the phenomenon of slow speed or abnormal order in the process of growth and development, which is mainly manifested in backward physical development, backward sports development, backward language development, backward intelligence development and backward psychological development.
There are many reasons for children's stunting, such as congenital genetic factors, intrauterine dysplasia and pathological reasons. In addition to the above reasons, unreasonable lifestyle is also an important reason for children's stunting.
Children who eat adult meals too early are prone to developmental retardation. Many people think that children aged 1-3 can eat with adults when their teeth come out. In fact, this stage should be dedicated to preparing recipes for children. Because children should consume less sodium than adults. However, many families have a heavy taste, and let their children eat "adult meals" too early. Eating too much salt will cause high blood pressure, affect calcium absorption, affect bone development, and make the baby's physical development slow and short.
Children who drink too much sweet drinks are prone to developmental retardation. Nowadays, many children drink less water and drink too much sweet drinks. According to the latest survey, only 20.9% of children and adolescents can reach the recommended drinking water more than 6 times a day. Excessive intake of sweet drinks will hinder children's development and may cause short stature, fractures and dental caries.
Too much pampering can easily lead to stunting. Some parents pamper their children too much and often hold them. Children have too little time for their own activities, and children can't get proper exercise, which will cause their head control ability to develop backward. During 1-3 months, parents should hold their children vertically and let them lie prone, which is beneficial to the baby's head control ability.
I often meet some parents who are worried that their children's hands are exposed. Scratching casually will scratch themselves and put gloves on their children. This seems to protect the children, but because they are wrapped too tightly, the children's hands will not move normally, resulting in obvious backwardness in fine movements. Before the baby is 6 months old, parents should consciously train their grasping ability.
There are also some parents who worry that children will not distinguish between food and articles, and they will not let their children play with toys if they mistake articles for food and spit them out. Children don't often take things with their hands, which will lead to the misalignment of their thumb and forefinger, and the children can't point their fingers, which is a poor development of fine movements. When children grow up to 8~9 months, they should be trained to grab some small things with their thumb and forefinger.
Parents often know that children's meaning is easy to cause language retardation. Children are thirsty and want to drink water, but they can't say it by pointing at the water cup. Parents on the side understand the child's meaning and immediately send the water cup to the child's mouth. Children don't need to say their own thoughts, so parents will understand, and then meet the child's requirements and let the child lose the opportunity to speak. This behavior of parents is likely to lead to language retardation. When parents understand the child's meaning in his behavior and expression, they should not satisfy the child immediately, but should guide the child to say what he wants to express and exercise his speaking ability.
The influence of children's developmental retardation 1. Children's physical retardation will cause short stature, which directly leads to their height being lower than their peers in adulthood.
2. Children's mental retardation will lead to mental retardation. Studies have found that children with mental retardation generally have an IQ below 70 (or 75), and their intelligence is significantly lower than the average.
3. Children's language development retardation leads to slow learning, poor language learning ability, late learning, unclear articulation and poor expression.
4. Children's mental retardation will lead to mental disorders, poor memory and understanding, and they can only scream or shout to express their emotions and demands, and their social adaptability is extremely poor.
Hello, I'm Wang Bo, a pediatrician at Beijing Angel Children's Hospital. I'm glad to answer your question.
Children grow slowly. We must first see if children have special diseases. Many diseases or chronic diseases may cause children to grow slowly, and children with physical retardation will be shorter than children of the same age and gender.
There are many reasons for children's slow growth, such as genetic factors, chromosome diseases, nutritional disorders, intrauterine growth retardation and so on.
So, what should we do in our daily life? 1, get enough sleep
Generally speaking, children can promote the secretion of growth hormone when they are asleep. Generally, growth hormone is secreted about 40 minutes after children are asleep, usually from 22 pm to 4 am.
2. A happy mood
A better mental state is beneficial to the growth of children's height.
3. Balanced nutrition
In life, parents should pay attention to whether their children's digestive function is good, ensure that their children can get the protein they need every day, and the balanced nutrition is reasonable, which is conducive to their height growth.
4. Exercise properly
Proper exercise every day can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone in children. If the child does too little exercise, it will also affect the child's height.
