My friend Xiao An is particularly worried that his son Lele is a "short man" because both husband and wife are short. While in Lele Primary School, Xiao An found that he was much shorter than his classmates. So I began to give Lele a lot of calcium supplements, but the effect was not great. My relatives suggested that Lele could try some folk remedies. The result was not only ineffective, but also caused Lele indigestion.
So at how old is the child growing fastest?
When a child enters adolescence, the growth rate of height will increase rapidly. So at this stage, parents should first pay attention to the fact that if the baby starts to "run up" quickly, it is necessary to supplement the child with a large number of body trace elements such as calcium and protein. Because the consumption of children's bodies and the demand for physical energy are relatively large during this period.
What are the signs before a child grows taller?
Many people wonder, will there be a sign before the child grows taller? Yes, before their height starts to increase rapidly, their bodies will begin to show signs. If your children suddenly have the following four omens, it means that they are going to grow taller.
First, physical pain began to appear at night.
Many children will feel some pain in their thighs or calves at night, and some parents will start to worry about whether their children have physical problems. In fact, this is the so-called "growth pain", and this kind of pain in the child's body is likely to indicate that the body is about to start growing rapidly. Because their muscles can't keep up with the speed of bone development and growth during this period, and the growth time of baby bones is generally concentrated at night. Some children even have cramps when they sleep at night.
Second, the appetite is better than before.
Parents may suddenly find that their children used to only eat 1 bowl of rice. Recently, they suddenly eat a lot more than before, and even often call themselves hungry after eating. Some parents begin to worry about whether the child's gastrointestinal system is abnormal, but in fact this shows that the child's body is growing rapidly, and their appetite will suddenly increase during this period, which is a precursor to the child's growing up.
Third, shoes will soon become small.
Some parents will find the shoes they just bought for their children last week, and it won't be long before they say that the shoes top their feet. Therefore, many parents feel a little troubled, and if they buy too well, the shoes will soon top their feet. So many people buy shoes for their children deliberately. But in fact, this is a sign that children will grow taller again. If the size of shoes is not appropriate, it will easily lead to their shoes not following their feet when they walk, and even some children need to run in physical education class, which may cause them to fall easily.
What should you pay attention to during the child's growth?
Children should keep enough sleep at this stage, because the fastest time for bone growth is from 10 to 6 am. Therefore, parents should try to keep their children's sleep time for 8 hours every day. In addition, we should try to keep more exercise at this stage, because exercise can help them stretch their muscles and bones and make their height grow rapidly.
This is why basketball players are usually taller. Finally, parents should pay attention to a balanced diet in children's diet, pay more attention to calcium and protein's supplement, and replenish more water, because the body will consume more during this period.
Summary: Many children are short, so they always feel inferior, so many parents pay great attention to their children's height. Some parents choose to use folk remedies when they see that the effect of ordinary calcium supplementation is not great, but this will easily lead to harm to their children's health. In fact, it is necessary to pay attention to adequate sleep, especially to exercise more, and to replenish a lot of water during the growth period. In addition, if children suffer from growing pains at night, eat more suddenly than before, and shoes are often inappropriate, it means that they are beginning to grow taller.
