During the "golden period" of children's growth, if you master this "intimate" secret, Zhaer can also become Ao Bing!

After five years, our Zhaer is back again. The whole family, young and old, are looking forward to seeing the growth and transformation of the passionate baby who shouts "My destiny is in my own hands".

Although Nezha is strong inside, when the fairies of the orthodox sect talk about his hunchback and his height as that of a groundhog, Nezha can't help feeling anxious, angry and inferior. Many children in real life also have the problem of not growing tall. How can he fight back and turn a small shrub into a towering tree?

Science Time

1. What is dwarfism?

Dwarfism refers to the situation where the height of an individual of the same race, gender and age in a similar living environment is 2 standard deviations (-2SD) below the average height of the normal population or below the 3rd percentile. In simple terms, if a child's height is significantly lower than that of his peers, you need to be alert to the possibility of dwarfism.

2. How to judge whether the child’s height is normal?

The following situations indicate that your child is growing slowly:

● A child’s growth rate is less than 7 cm/year before the age of 3;

● Less than 5 cm/year from 3 years old to puberty;

● Less than 6 cm/year during puberty.

Parents can refer to the children's height standard table (in cm) to see what level their child's height is**.

3. Make full use of the "golden period" for your baby to grow taller

Dr. Liu Shuang, a child growth and development doctor at Yongzhou Lingling District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, emphasized:

The growth rate of children is related to factors such as genetics, nutrition, growth hormone secretion, and exercise. 60% of height is determined by genes, and 40% is affected by acquired factors . If you are born with deficiencies, you have to make up for it later. As long as you fully grasp the golden time of your child's growth, develop good living habits, and add the help of traditional Chinese medicine, "little bean sprouts" can also become "towering trees"!

Spring and summer are the golden times for children to grow taller. In spring and summer, the secretion of growth hormone increases and ultraviolet rays are sufficient. The World Health Organization has research results showing that March to May each year is the golden period for growth . Appropriate exercise should be increased, nutrition should be strengthened, or height-enhancing products should be used for conditioning so that the body's growth and development can reach the best state.
