First, what are the signs before the child's epiphyseal line closes? 1, height growth is slow or stagnant.
Although the physical development speed of children in different periods is different, the height growth of a normal child is about as follows:
(1), from one to two years old, the height growth is rapid and calm, about ten centimeters per year.
(2) At the age of two to three, the growth rate of height has slowed down, averaging about seven centimeters per year.
(3) During the period from the age of three to adolescence, the average person will grow five or six centimeters a year.
If parents find that the growth rate of their children's height suddenly slows down, or is lower than the normal standard, they must be on their guard immediately. What may this be? Epiphyseal line? The signal of impending closure.
We must take measures as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity for children to grow up, and it will be too late to regret it.
2, the second sexual characteristics appear prematurely.
The appearance of secondary sexual characteristics is the most remarkable feature of adolescence. Girls' breasts will bulge, menarche will come, boys will grow Adam's apple, and they will have an annoying voice change period, which all represent the gradual maturity of the body. At present, there are many boys and girls of eight or nine years old who have secondary sexual characteristics in advance, which is not a good sign, indicating that precocity has become a trend.
If we don't intervene in time, it will seriously affect the height development. If you find that your child has this tendency, you must take your child to see a doctor in time and try to restore your child to a normal development track.
3, the muscles become stiff.
I wonder if you have found that children's bodies are relatively soft, while adults, especially adult men, have relatively hard muscles. This is mainly because the bones of the body are mature, and the muscles will harden to protect the bones. If you find that the muscles of your child's limbs are hard, it may be necessary to stop growing.
Second, how to seize the last opportunity to grow taller? 1, monitor the height development of children.
The so-called know yourself and know yourself can win every battle. If you want your child to grow taller, it is natural to understand the child's height development first, and learning to measure is the top priority.
The specific steps of measurement are as follows:
Step 1: Set the measurement cycle, which can be measured once a month. The ruler for each measurement should be fixed in place and people, such as a specific corner of the wall at home.
Step 2: When measuring, ask the child not to wear shoes and socks, and keep his body straight, so as to avoid incorrect data.
The third step: learn to record, observe the growth trend of children and compare it with standard data.
2, keep enough sleep.
Sleep is very important for teenagers, and the peak of growth hormone secretion is at night, so the time and quality of sleep can directly affect the height development. However, if children always play mobile phones at night and play games until eleven or twelve o'clock at night, it will lead to a decrease in growth hormone secretion, and naturally they will not grow tall.
In order to let children fall asleep as soon as possible, have a good sleep quality, try to avoid exercise or reprimand before going to bed, and keep away from electronic products and keep a happy mood to sleep.
3, scientific diet.
Not being nutritious, not eating enough or eating too much are all minefields that parents should avoid. In particular, eating too much will not only make adolescent children fat, but also affect the secretion of growth hormone. It is suggested to pay attention to the collocation of food, including coarse and fine, and good meat, so that children can drink more milk and eat more foods containing calcium, vitamin C and various trace elements. The more miscellaneous, the better.
