After the winter vacation, as soon as school started, children\’s height became a hot topic again. · Is the child tall enough? ·What is your position among your peers? For the latest height standards for children, you can refer to the \”Growth Standards for Children Under 7 Years Old\” and \”Evaluation of Height Development Grades for Children and Adolescents Aged 7 to 18\” issued by the National Health Commission. Our country organizes a large-scale survey every 10 years as a basis for updating growth and development standards. In recent years, children\’s height and weight have increased significantly. Taking the age group of 5 to 5 years and 6 months as an example, the average height of boys is 1.7 cm higher than 10 years ago. We have excerpted the height data that everyone is most concerned about. You can find out which range your child is in based on the child\’s gender and age. 0 ~ 18 years old 👦 Boys 👦 0 ~ 18 years old 👧 Girls 👧 PS. 7 ~ 18 years old data table, slide to the far right to view. If you want to save it, you can reply to the keyword \”height\” in the background of the Yuxueyuan official account to get it. Determine which range the height data falls in and combine it with the table below to get an evaluation of the child\’s height. For example, the median means that most of the child\’s peers are at this level. Compared with the median, a deviation of more than 1 standard deviation (1 SD) upward or downward means that the score is higher or lower than most peers. Sharing these is not to \”roll up the height\”, but to give everyone a more accurate official reference standard for your reference. 013 Situations: Beware of developmental delays. Doctor Lin Ming of the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology of Wuhan Union Hospital pointed out that children aged 2 years and above may have growth disorders if the following 3 conditions occur. 1. Height is below the 3rd percentile of the growth curve. If your height at a certain point in time is below the 3 percentile of the growth curve, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Children under 3 years old can see the pediatric health department, and children over 3 years old can see the pediatric endocrinology department. 2. The annual height growth rate is slow. After the age of 2, the child\’s height growth tends to be stable, with an increase of 5 to 8 cm per year until adolescence: · 2 to 4 years old, at least 5.5 cm per year · 4 to 6 years old, at least 5 cm per year · 6 years old ~ Puberty, boys Growth of at least 4 cm per year, for girls at least 4.5 cm3 per year. Growth curve deviates downward beyond 2 percentile curves. If your child\’s growth curve drops significantly, for example, from above the 25th percentile to below the 10th percentile (as shown below), you should also consult your doctor to clarify the reason. 023 ways to help children grow taller If you want to seize this spring and let your children grow a few centimeters taller, you must not only ensure balanced nutrition and adequate sleep, but also add correct exercise methods. 1. Nutritious diet If you want to grow taller, it is essential to eat more foods high in calcium. The first choice for calcium supplement is milk. If you are lactose intolerant, you can choose lactose-free milk or yogurt, eat cheese, etc.Dairy products are also a good choice for calcium supplementation. In addition, fish, shrimp and seafood are rich in high-quality protein and calcium, and are also a good choice for children to supplement calcium and protein. The following foods are also very rich in calcium. You can change them frequently and give them to your baby. I also give you a recipe. You can make them for your baby when you have time~ 2. We all know that quality sleep is related to children’s height and various growth hormones. , and growth hormone needs to be secreted better after entering deep sleep. In other words, children’s high-quality sleep can ensure the secretion of growth hormone. How to judge whether the child\’s sleep quality is good or not? If the child\’s overall sleep duration is within a certain range (as shown below), he wakes up in good spirits, eats well, and has a normal growth curve, there is basically no need to worry too much.

At the same time, exercise also exercises muscles and bones to make them stronger [1]. Dr. Zhu Chuansong, a resident doctor at Yuxueyuan who specializes in children\’s gross motor development, growth and development assessment and training, said that height is inseparable from the growth of bones, and exercise can strengthen the blood supply of bone cells and help improve the proliferation of epiphyseal cartilage. . \”Long bones rely on epiphyseal cartilage to continuously produce cartilage, calcify, and dissolve to achieve the purpose of growth.\” There are many types of exercise, but not all of them are closely related to height. Some are very effective in growing taller, while others are not. Not obvious. If parents want their children to grow taller through exercise, they can focus on trying the following three types of exercise: ✅Bounce exercises, such as touch high, hopscotch, and rope skipping, will exert moderate pressure on the bones of the lower limbs, stretch muscles and ligaments, and stimulate cartilage growth. effect. Here are 2 bouncing sports games that you can play at home. They don’t require any additional props. They are simple and effective. Picture source: Photographed and produced by Yuxueyuan Editorial Department✅ Stretching exercises, such as aerobics and swimming. Aerobics can stretch the spine and limbs, promote spine growth, and increase flexibility. Swimming is also a good activity for stretching the limbs, which helps stretch and lengthen the bones throughout the body. ✅ Whole-body exercise, such as running, cycling, basketball, and football. This type of exercise involves many muscle groups, allowing internal organs such as the cardiovascular system to perform greater functions, increasing blood circulation, thereby improving epiphyseal nutrition. 03 You may also want to know about the growth of children: 1. Will it affect the growth of children if they are not sleeping at 10 o\’clock in the evening? Some parents worry that if their children sleep late, they will \”miss\” the peak of growth hormone secretion. In fact, growth hormone is secreted throughout the day, not just at night, nor at a specific time. The secretion will reach its peak when the child is in deep sleep. Therefore, children who fall asleep late will only have a later peak of growth hormone secretion. It is more important to ensure that children have deep sleep and high-quality sleep. 2. If my child’s height is not ideal, can he take growth hormone? Dr. Lin Ming said that most children do not need to take growth hormone. Growth hormone is a prescription drug: first of all, the use of growth hormone requires clear indications. For example: growth hormone deficiency, idiopathic short stature, small for gestational age, Turner syndrome, PRader-Willi syndrome, short bowel syndrome, Noonan syndrome, etc. Secondly, for different diagnoses, different treatment ages, bone ages, etc., the final therapeutic effect is also different. For example, the therapeutic effect of Turner syndrome is not as good as that of growth hormone deficiency. Moreover, growth hormone may cause headaches, abnormal blood sugar, hypothyroidism and other reactions. Therefore, whether to use growth hormone must be evaluated by a doctor.
