Autumn has arrived, which not only brings beautiful scenery, but also gives children a golden period of growth. Did you know there are simple ways to help them “thrive” in the fall? In this article, I’ll share some tips for growing your kids taller in the fall. 01 Establish a height management file. There are many factors that affect height, and heredity is one of the main ones. Many parents believe that if the average height of the parents or family is not high, the child\’s height may not be high either. However, scientific height management can reduce the influence of genes. Professor Pan Hui, chief physician of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, mentioned in his book \”Growing Taller, Experts from Peking Union Medical College\”: \”The sooner you manage your child\’s height, the better. Adequate management can completely break the genetic restrictions and make your child grow taller than expected.\” 10 centimeters high.\” For example, basketball player Jeremy Lin, whose parents are both less than 170cm, but through scientific training, he eventually grew to 191cm. So how do we manage this? First, record the child\’s height, measure it every 3 months, and use the growth chart to understand the current height growth. When the growth rate is lower than the normal range, you need to consult a professional doctor in time. Secondly, take a bone age film once a year to monitor the child\’s growth and make timely adjustments. Some mothers think that their children just grow up late and do not pay attention to it. When they find out that their children\’s height development is indeed slower than other children\’s, they go to check and find that the bone age has already closed. Therefore, the sooner a height management file is established, the better. Of course, before the age of 6, you only need to record your height, and there is no need to measure bone age. 02 Reasonable nutrition and increased nutrition can provide various nutrients needed by children and promote their healthy growth and development. Nutrition is necessary for the body to function properly and includes proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients play important roles in your child\’s body, such as building muscles and bones, providing energy, supporting immune system function, and more. A balanced diet can make children grow taller. Professor Pan Hui from the Shortness Clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital has formulated a children\’s height-growing recipe for children with a height of 136-150 centimeters for the reference of parents. (As shown in the picture) 03 Adequate sleep As the saying goes: \”Children who can sleep grow taller.\” Children\’s height growth is closely related to their sleep quality. Adequate sleep can stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, thereby helping children grow taller. Therefore, if you want your child to grow taller and stronger, it is crucial to ensure adequate sleep. So, how do you make sure your child gets enough sleep? First, we need to understand the normal amount of sleep a child needs. The American Sleep Association provides detailed sleep recommendations for children of different ages: children aged 1-2 years old need to sleep 11-14 hours a day; children aged 3-5 years old need to sleep 10-13 hours a day; children aged 6-12 years old need Children need 9-12 hours of sleep a day; children aged 13-18 years old need 8-10 hours a day. Based on these suggestions, we can calculate the child\’s sleep time and set a fixed bedtime to ensure that they get enough sleep. 01 Moderate amount of exercise Moderate amount of exercise is also an important factor in promoting the growth of children\’s height. Research shows that children who exercise regularly tend toOften taller than children who lack exercise. Exercise can not only stimulate the secretion of bone growth hormone, but also enhance muscle strength. In the fall, outdoor sports are ideal. Here are several types of exercise suitable for children of different ages: Basketball: Basketball is a full-body exercise that stretches the skeletal system and promotes bone growth. It is recommended to play basketball 2-3 times a week, lasting about 30 minutes each time, to help improve your child\’s height. However, attention should be paid to proper stretching before exercise and avoiding excessive collision. Swimming: Swimming is a whole-body aerobic exercise that can enhance muscle strength and flexibility and promote balanced development of the body. Suitable for children aged 6 years and above. When swimming in a regular swimming pool, pay attention to correct posture and avoid diving too deep. Stretching exercises: Stretching exercises help lengthen muscles and ligaments, increasing the appearance of height. Suitable for children aged 9+. Maintain good posture when stretching, gradually increase the degree of stretch, and avoid overexertion. Jumping rope: Jumping rope is a simple and effective way to exercise muscles in various parts of the body, especially the leg muscles. Suitable for children aged 8 years and above. When jumping rope, pay attention to choosing appropriate shoes, skipping rope length, and avoiding jumping with excessive force. By establishing a height profile for the child, giving the child balanced nutrition, ensuring adequate sleep and moderate exercise, we can help the child achieve a higher height goal!
