04 Oct 2024
In the process of a child's growth, height development is often one of the primary concerns for parents. Many times, we may overlook some seemingly insignificant but actually crucial signals that could be early indicators of poor height growth in children. Through this article, we will delve into four commonly overlooked signs of stunted growth, helping parents observe and pay closer attention to their child's height development to ensure they grow healthily and robustly.
Four Major Signs of Stunted Growth in Boys and Girls
The early stages of puberty are a golden period for a child's growth, where both boys and girls experience a significant acceleration in height growth. During this time, height can increase by over 10 centimeters in a year, with an average growth of around 6-7 centimeters. However, as one progresses into the later stages of puberty, the rate of height growth gradually slows down.
The late stages of puberty typically occur between the ages of 9 and 14, during which a child's secondary sexual characteristics develop, and opportunities for further height growth diminish. When the following signs appear, parents should pay attention to whether their child is approaching the end of their growth spurt.
Four Signs of Boys Stopping Growing Taller:
1. Height growth of less than 2-3 centimeters within a year
2. Muscles becoming more developed, especially noticeable increase in muscle mass in the calves and arms
3. Significant enlargement of the testicles, accompanied by thicker body hair
4. Rapid weight gain
Four Signs of Girls Stopping Growing Taller:
1. Height growth of less than 2-3 centimeters within a year
2. Noticeable development of the breasts
3. Onset of the first menstrual period
4. Gradual increase in fat around the hips and thighs
Supplementing nutrition can overcome genetic limitations!
A child's height is the result of various factors such as genetics, nutrition, and living environment. The more of the above conditions that apply, the greater the likelihood that a child will be short in stature as an adult. Through scientifically based interventions and management postnatally, it is also possible to achieve the goal of improving height.
What to Do When a Child Enters a Period of Slow Growth or Stagnation?
When you notice that a child has entered a period of slow growth or stagnation (between the ages of 12 and 16), the primary task is to help them establish healthy daily routines, including regular exercise habits and balanced nutritional intake, both of which are crucial for promoting growth. Additionally, parents need to pay special attention to the child's psychological stress, as excessive stress can reduce their appetite and disrupt sleep quality, impacting nutrient absorption and the secretion of growth hormones, ultimately affecting the child's height development. Maintaining a relaxed mindset and a healthy lifestyle is key to promoting continuous growth in children.
